SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- xG Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a developer of wireless communications and spectrum sharing technologies, announced it has entered into a partnership with GlobalMedia Group, LLC ("GlobalMed") to market integrated health delivery systems that incorporate xG mobile broadband technology and GlobalMed's telemedicine hardware, devices and software.
The xMax Telemedicine Network Solution ("xMax TMN") facilitates the immediate and reliable transmission of critical health information, multimedia medical applications, and lifesaving services to locations that are difficult to reach or have limited communications options available. It consists of a rapidly-deployable, easy-to-install, turnkey mobile network solution that provides a secure, two-way telemedicine communications infrastructure.

The introduction of xMax broadband-enabled telemedicine solutions has the potential to deliver gamechanging improvements in the quality, range and overall effectiveness of healthcare options around the world. xMax TMN represents a best-in-class solution that unites xG's broadband technology that was specifically to operate in challenging locations, with GlobalMed's innovative telemedicine product lines."
