MARINA DEL REY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FGWC--
5G Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:FGWC) announced
today that it has received a $1.5 million purchase order and
distribution agreement to establish international distribution
channels for its wireless broadband products throughout West Africa.
"Our partner is a U.S.-based company with telecom sales and
distribution throughout the entire African continent," stated Jerry
Dix, 5G Wireless CEO. "Opening up an emerging area as large and rich
with potential as this furthers our competitive position and
demonstrates our ability to operate as an organization on a global
level, and our entry into the West African market is a milestone for
5G Wireless."
As West Africa and other international markets mature, the need
for economical and easily deployable communications technology for
voice and data may increase. We believe that our G-Force(TM) solutions
are capable of delivering broadband capabilities economically and
faster than copper and fiber.
Some of the nations that will benefit from the relationship are
Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra
Leone. Additional information will be released at a later date.
"These countries have an opportunity to skip the wiring and
cabling activities that have traditionally provided both telephone and
Internet access," added Mr. Dix. "It's fantastic that they may be able
to jump directly into an advanced wireless solution to foster their
economic development."
