:CLYW), announced today it has been granted U.S. Patent # 6,680,923 titled "Communication system and method" which covers the seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access points, such as cellular towers (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , WCMDA etc.) and short-range Internet access See how to access the Internet.  points (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).

The technology enables mobile users to seamlessly switch back and forward between cellular and wireless IP networks, without losing connectivity via the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN See wireless LAN.

), accelerating wireless broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data. What is "high" speed is always a changing number. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wireline networks. In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1  deployment. It could also provide significant savings to carriers such as T-Mobile, SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. , Verizon in additional frequency spectrum and infrastructure equipment by offloading capacity to the WLAN and IP networks while providing additional sources of revenues. Internet-ready devices, including wireless phones, PDA's and notebooks can seamlessly connect to either a cellular phone network or a wireless LAN, such as 802.11x (Wi-Fi). In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke"

, global connectivity of voice, video and data will be done through the most efficient connection point, at a lower cost to both the mobile operator and the consumer.

To fully understand how revolutionary Calypso Wireless' technology is, simply compare the 11,000 Kbps speed of 802.11b to the data transfer capabilities of existing wireless cellular networks in the U.S. Most cellular carriers are currently able to reach speeds of only 9.6 to 40 Kbps, and even the future 3G networks are expected to reach about 385 Kbps. Calypso Wireless believes it is 'light-years' ahead of its competition and that any service provider offering its customers Calypso powered mobile devices should have a marked advantage over its competitors.

"We believe this is a major milestone for our company. With our technology, mobile carriers will be able to place VoIP and Telecom/Internet Switching equipment on their networks that will allow cellular calls to automatically switch and roam between their cellular networks and the Internet using wireless VoIP via Wi-Fi access points. Mobile carriers will be able to substantially increase their user base and offer higher bandwidth services without having to purchase an additional licensed radio frequency spectrum," says David Davila, President & CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Calypso Wireless.

"This patent allows Calypso Wireless solid arguments to justify the new Global Telecommunications and Wi-Fi revolution System, bringing a unique and powerful advantage against any possible competition. We are very excited; the issuance of this 20 years patent dramatically enhances our business model. We have been focusing on perfecting our own technology in the past, and believe we are several years ahead. The patent will allow us to develop a Qualcomm type of a business model and start to aggressively pursue licensing agreements with established industry leaders and thereby growing revenues. We have already signed several agreements to install field trial equipment, which we hope will lead to orders for both handsets that include our technology as well as the related network equipment and the software that facilitates it," says Davila.

In the near term Calypso will start the process of contacting major mobile carriers in the industry to notify them of this patent, and is already in negotiations with a leading OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  manufacturer to license its ASNAP ASNAP Automatic Switching of Network Access Points (CalypsoWireless Inc.)  (Automatic Switching of Network Access Points) technology. The patent will have major implications in the way telecom carriers, cable carriers, OEMs, microprocessor hardware, network software and VoIP companies do business. In fact, it can dramatically alter those companies' business models.
