5G Wireless to Provide Wi-fi Service for the City of Garden Grove, California.

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2003

5G Wireless (OTCBB:FGWC) announced today that it has been awarded the contract to provide high-speed wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi) for the City of Garden Grove, California utilizing 5G's proprietary Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b equipment.

Charles Kalil, Information Systems Manager for the City of Garden Grove, stated, "We've tried a wireless solution in the past and were terribly disappointed. We have many city sub-stations that need to be on the network with city hall and up until 5G came along, there was no economical solution to bring them on line."

Mr. Kalil further stated, "5G made the wireless connection, the first one was 1/4 mile away from City Hall and we realized data transfer rates of over 3 megabits per second. With the 2nd connection, 2 1/2 miles away from City Hall and without line-of-sight we realized the same data transfer rates, over 3 megs per second. They delivered more than what they promised and with these two installations, have completed phase one. We probably have two or three more phases to go and we will continue to use the 5G Wireless solution."

"The 2 1/2 mile shot that we provide to Garden Grove is non line-of-sight and through trees," stated Jerry Dix, President and CEO of 5G Wireless, "not a simple task but we knew that our gear, developed to operate within the legal limits of IEEE 802.11b standard, was more than capable of meeting the challenge.

"The Garden Grove network is now up and running flawlessly," Dix continued, "and plans for expanding to other city facilities are in the works. We regularly demonstrate successful shots of up to 5 miles away from our main access point in Marina del Rey, California and we were confident that our proprietary technology would have little difficulty making these connections for Garden Grove."
