Wireless start-up xG Technology has announced the first products based on its low-power xMax technology, which they claim will spur more inexpensive mobile VoIP deployments, according to this CNET article. xG will be producing enterprise-grade infrastructure VoIP products as well as a consumer VoIP handset this year that will support WiFi and wired ethernet connections.

xMax claimes its proprietary broadband wireless technology has especially low-power requirements for operation over long distances. The jury is still out though as the CNET article points out that public demonstrations have so far been limited to one-way, point-to-point data transmissions, and xG has even said that voice or multiuser tests have yet to be conducted internally.
