Chicago, Il., February 18 -.The growing desert city of Lancaster, California, will become the first city in the nation to install the latest wireless communications utilizing an advanced antenna system by Wifi-Plus and wireless technology developed by Los Angeles based company XRF Technologies. This is announced jointly XRF Technologies, Wifi-Plus Advanced Antenna Solutions and the honorable Frank C. Roberts, Mayor of The City of Lancaster, CA

With a population of 125,000, Lancaster will initially use XRF’s technology for high speed Internet access with future plans to deploy the unique capabilities of XRF’s technology for Voice Over IP, use by city inspectors, and eventually fire, police, emergency services, homeland security first responder programs, and a child tracking application.  The obstruction penetrating qualities and multi-frequencies of the Wifi-Plus Multi Polarized (MP) antennas allows for use of the system in through out the community.

Many Lancaster addresses cannot access DSL service for high-speed Internet connections, but the XRF technology will be available to nearly all Lancaster addresses through a system of transmitters located primarily in the City’s parks.

“As a wireless City, we will offer cutting edge technology to our residents and businesses,” Mayor Roberts said, “while improving the efficiency of communications within city government.”

XRF devices and protocols will provide initial high-speed transmission rates up to 500 megabytes per second in full duplex. This makes XRF’s date transmission speed 300 times faster than T-1 technology that operates at 1.54 megabytes per second and is one of the fastest commercially available technologies for communications and data transmission.

Designed to work with a wide variety of equipment; personal computers for Internet for Internet access, television for high definition television broadcasts, HVAC units environmental controls, telephones, security monitoring systems, power management systems, utility meters, in addition to speed XRF’s technology offers tremendous deployment flexibility.  Byron del Castillo went on further to acknowledge two high tech companies that added tremendous value to the Lancaster installation, WiFi-PLUS Inc., and One Connect IP, Inc.

“Wifi-Plus antennas are an enabling technology that offer the final piece of the wireless puzzle,” said Dennis Broderick, President and CEO of Wifi-Plus, “We are proud to be part of the Lancaster deployment, it has been Dr. Nilsson’s ( CSO of Wifi-Plus) dream that his invention would serve mankind well.  Our antennas allow the signal to be seen in three dimensions, other antennas on utilize only one or two dimensions. This will be a distinct advantage in life threatening situations that this system may be used in.

WiFi-PLUS based in Brunswick, OH and Chicago, IL(www.WiFi-PLUS.com) designs, manufactures and licenses MP (multi-path, multi-plane, multi-polarized) patented antennas. MP antennas solve common problems associated with obstructed environments like signal fade and drop outs caused by trees, buildings, and weather. Among the reasons XRF chose WiFi-PLUS antennas are their extended range, excellent connectivity in non-line of sight environments, a single antenna running multiple frequencies, (2.4/5.8 GHz) and superior 360 degree coverage through the antenna.
