Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2003

5G Wireless (OTCBB:FGWC) announced today it is expanding its footprint in the City of Garden Grove, California, with the addition of 12 new locations to the 9 existing high-speed wireless 802.11b (Wi-Fi) connections it currently provides.

"We regularly demonstrate successful service up to 5 miles away from our Access Points and we were confident that our proprietary technology would have little difficulty making these connections for Garden Grove," stated Jerry Dix, President and CEO of 5G Wireless. "We're developing a reputation for not only delivering the `last mile' but going the extra mile in exceeding customer expectations."

Charles Kalil, Information Systems Manager for the City of Garden Grove, stated, "In phase one, we were hoping for bandwidth of 1 to 1.5 Mbps, but with the 5G solution, we consistently receive speeds of up to 3 Mbps from distances of over four miles as well as from non-line-of-sight shots through trees and buildings. It has been very impressive, since 5G has been able to make connections where another wireless provider had failed. They actually penetrate buildings while delivering speeds consistent with line-of-sight locations. They delivered more than what they promised."

The Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for the City now links City Hall and other municipal buildings, including police stations, and with the addition of these 12 new locations, the Fire stations and Public Works departments will also benefit. The 5G solution has allowed the City to eliminate additional connectivity and consolidate broadband operations at a central location, decreasing management and service costs.

"Having a wireless infrastructure is critical to our Public Safety operations," added Kalil. "We now have a reliable means of providing critical information as well as normal municipal functions in the event of an emergency. And it's gratifying to know we're doing it at an affordable level at a time when we are under intense pressure to reduce costs due to the State's budget crisis."
