REY, Calif., Aug.
7, 2002 - 5G Wireless Communications, Inc. ("5G" or
"The Company") (OTCBB:FGWC) announced today that it has entered into a
long term agreement with Radiant Holdings, Inc.("Radiant"), a Miami,
Florida based telecommunications company to license 5G's proprietary Wi-Fi

The agreement,
which goes into effect immediately, provides for up to $750,000.00 in monthly
licensing fees to 5G based on a sliding scale of total subscribers.
The first
access point antenna has been installed at the headquarters location of Radiant
in Miami, Florida and a second access point is now installed in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. "Our plans call for us to roll out 30 access points in the south
Florida market between now and the end of the year," commented Jerry Dix,
President and CEO of 5G Wireless, "with plans to begin rolling out
additional sites in the State in first and second quarters of 2003. We are
looking for revenues from this agreement to begin mid-fourth quarter 2002,"
stated Dix.
"5G
Wireless is extremely fortunate to have such a successful partner as Radiant
Holdings," commented Jerry Dix. "Radiant has been in the
telecommunications business for several years and is one of the leaders in the
pre-paid calling card sectors and a pioneer in the point-of-sale activation and
payment systems."
As part of the
agreement, Radiant will provide the tower sites and equipment necessary to build
out the network. "Once the network is in place, our plans are to leverage
5G's technologies and introduce Voice over the Internet Protocol to our
markets," said Gokhan Matthew Inan, Radiant's Director of Business
