Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2003

5G Wireless (OTCBB:FGWC) announced today that it will be opening up its Marina del Rey facility to create the first WiFi HotZone.(TM)

"With the explosive growth of hot spots and wireless-enabled laptops, we see the opportunity to utilize our gear to take the Hot Spot concept to the next level to create a WiFi HotZone. Our gear is capable of reaching farther distances than conventional 802.11b equipment, so we can offer a wider coverage area of high-speed wireless access. Subscribers throughout Marina del Rey will be able to use any Wi-Fi-enabled equipment anywhere within the Zone," stated Jerry Dix, President and CEO of 5G Wireless.

5G will begin beta testing the WiFi HotZone in Marina del Rey the first week in June, and plans to offer access to clients around the first week of August, 2003. Once available, users can access the network from their boats, in their homes, at restaurants, or walking along the marina or beach.

Brian Corty, Chief Technology Officer for 5G Wireless, stated, "Our gear is completely compatible with all store bought IEEE 802.11b Wi-Fi gear as well as Intel's (NYSE:INTC) Centrino technology. It is also being prepared for use with the newly announced Cisco Systems (NSDQ:CSCO) Wi-Fi telephone. We believe that we will be able to provide service within a WiFi HotZone of slightly more than a one-mile radius from our Marina tower."

With emerging hot spots capable of providing service within a 300 ft. radius of an access point, 5G's WiFi HotZone expands this concept to offer service within a 6000 ft. radius, or an area 20x larger than currently available.

The company was recently profiled by 802.11 Planet, "The Source for Wi-Fi Business and Technology." In the piece, entitled "Long Distance Wi-Fi," (www.80211planet.com/columns/article.php/2191841) Eddie Hold, a wireless analyst with Current Analysis in Sterling, VA, maintains that this breakthrough "could considerably change the nature of the Wi-Fi market."

"We are in discussions to expand the WiFi HotZone approach to contiguous communities and other areas in the United States. Eventually, our clients will be able to seamlessly access our network wherever they are," Corty added.
