Defywire, Inc. Secures Patent That Allows Wireless Devices to Transfer Multiple Types of Data Simultaneously; Patent Also Enables Wireless Devices to Act as Servers, Thus Enabling a New Frontier to Be Explored in Wireless: Peer-to-Peer Networking.HERNDON, Va. -- Today, when using many of the mobile data devices that combine voice functionality with email or some other type of data application, there's just one big drawback: most wireless data devices will not allow you to make a voice call while simultaneously downloading or uploading data such as email. That means that if you receive a phone call while checking your email, that call goes directly to voice mail. It also means that mobile workers, for instance, cannot use the same wireless device to check the status of an order while talking to Noun 1. talking to - a lengthy rebuke; "a good lecture was my father's idea of discipline"; "the teacher gave him a talking to" lecture, speech rebuke, reprehension, reprimand, reproof, reproval - an act or expression of criticism and censure; "he had to the customer in real-time. The solution to this problem is now patented. Defywire Inc., the Herndon, Va.-based wireless and mobile software provider, was just awarded Patent 6,891,860 for the "method and apparatus for establishing multiple bandwidth-limited connections for a communications device Typically refers to a terminal used to send voice, video or text. Mobile phones, wireless PDAs and personal computers equipped with microphones, speakers and cameras are all considered communications devices. See modem. ." In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke" put differently , Defywire's newly patented technology enables the single communications channel Also called a "circuit" or "line," it is a pathway over which data are transferred between remote devices. It may refer to the entire physical medium, such as a telephone line, optical fiber, coaxial cable or twisted wire pair, or, it may refer to one of several carrier frequencies that is today used to support the transfer of information via a wireless carrier to the device to be split into several different uplink and downlink Transmitting from a satellite to an earth station. Contrast with uplink. channels, each of which can be used to simultaneously support a different application. The technology is a key part of the Defywire Mobility Suite, which extends the enterprise by providing mobile employees with secure, real-time access to corporate information systems and serves as the basis for Defywire's myriad vertical mobile enterprise applications. The platform communicates with software that can be easily installed on wireless devices to support more efficient mobile communications. "For the last several years, our company has been quietly selling a solution that revolutionizes the way companies use their wireless devices, and our receipt of this patent validates our belief that Defywire's approach to moving data in the wireless market is truly unique," said Jim Sondel, director of technology for Defywire. "Thanks to Defywire, enterprises can easily increase the functionality and speed of their wireless devices and thus increase their efficiency." This patent enables Defywire's mobile enterprise applications such as email to run much faster than any other applications on the market today, given that users no longer experience delays in sending and receiving data. It also enables wireless industry players to create more traffic on their next-generation high-bandwidth networks such as 2.5G, 3G, Wi-Fi and WiMAX. In addition, Defywire's patented technology enables any wireless device to operate as a server and act as a central port of communications or as a bridge between devices. So, for instance, users can now easily move files from one wireless device to another without the need for a centralized cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1.

Contrast with "master-slave communications," in which the host determines which users can initiate which sessions. . Defywire also has several other wireless patents pending; the technology in this patent serves as the basis for those other patents.
