SEATTLE, Wash. - Airbiquity Inc., a company that develops wireless communication software solutions, today announced the issuance of four new U.S. patents protecting their in-band modem communications technology.
The new patents include patent #7,151,768 for in-band signaling for data communications over digital wireless telecommunications networks; patent #7,164,662 for a network delay identification method and apparatus; patent #7,206,305 for software code for improved in-band signaling for data communications over digital wireless telecommunications networks; and patent #7,215,965 for a facility and method for wireless transmission of location data in a voice channel of a digital wireless telecommunications network.
"These new patents further protect our unique method of sending data over the wireless voice channel, and strengthen our position as a market leader in transport solutions for telematics and M2M applications," said Leon Hong, Airbiquity's chief technology officer. "This method of data transport is powerful because the voice channel is the most reliable, ubiquitous, and widely-deployed wireless communications service available today."
Airbiquity already holds 10 other patents protecting their core aqLink in-band modem technology, which has been successfully deployed in over six million mobile devices. Airbiquity's aqLink is Bluetooth-compatible and uses the voice channel of any wireless network (UMTS, GSM, and CDMA) to rapidly and reliably transport high-value and mission-critical data during the course of a wireless voice conversation.
The press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because these statements apply to future events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
