PRESS RELEASES
MIAMI, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Calypso Wireless, Inc.
(OTC: CLYW / CLYW.PK) announced today that it has settled all lawsuits against
the company and has regained control of its intellectual property. The
company's previous officers and directors have resigned and Richard S. Pattin
has been named the company's interim President, CEO and sole Director.
"This is a major victory for Calypso Wireless and its shareholders," says
Richard S. Pattin. "We can now get back to business and start monetizing and
further developing our ASNAP(TM) technology and our four additional patents
acquired last year. We also intend to reinstate Cristian Turrini as Calypso's
CEO and Director," Pattin states.
Cristian Turrini was President and CEO between March and December 2007.
Under his leadership, Calypso Wireless established a landmark relationship and
conducted a trial with one of the world's largest networking and
telecommunications companies. Turrini was also instrumental in raising much
needed capital for the company and in negotiating a relationship with Acacia
Technologies to potentially manage Calypso's intellectual properties.
"We are very excited about these changes. The major issues that have
hindered our growth have now been resolved. We can now focus on building our
business by teaming up with potential customers to license our technology.
These may include chip companies (such as Intel or AMD), software operating
companies such as Microsoft or Palm, telecom equipment companies like
Ericsson, cellular handset companies such as Nokia and Research in Motion,
enterprise IP PBX server companies, enterprise application companies, carrier
application companies, virtual operators, carriers and specialized vertical
application providers such as satellite radio companies. Since we now have
control of our patented technology, we can finally start building a
potentially significant business," says Pattin.
In addition to licensing, Calypso Wireless also intends to aggressively
enforce its key patents. Calypso's ASNAP technology (U.S. Patent #6,680,923)
titled "Communication System and Method" covers the seamless roaming of voice,
video and data between Wide Area Network access points, such as cellular
towers (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, WCMDA etc.) and short-range Internet access
points (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). This enables cell phone users to
enjoy up to 11mb broadband speeds, allowing them to video conference with
movie-like quality, to send and receive video with audio, movies-on-demand and
many other high-speed services that are currently unavailable to them.
"In plain English, any carrier that wishes to provide its customers with a
cell phone that automatically detects any available WLANs and then seamlessly
switches between the standard cellular link towers and available short-range
broadband network, such as cable or DSL Wi-Fi, must sign a license agreement
with Calypso Wireless," clarifies Pattin.
Calypso Wireless intends to appoint additional directors and form a
complete management team as soon as possible. The appointed Directors will be
subject to shareholder ratification in a special shareholders' meeting.
About Calypso Wireless, Inc.
Calypso Wireless is the company behind the ASNAP(TM) technology for which
it was granted U.S. Patent #6,680,923 titled "Communication system and method"
(http://www.uspto.gov search U.S. patent number 6,680,923), which covers the
seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access
points, such as cellular towers (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, WCMDA etc.) and short-
range Internet access points (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).
Calypso's patented ASNAP(TM) technology will enable cellular phones to
automatically detect any available Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and then
seamlessly switch between the signals of standard cellular link towers and an
available short-range broadband network such as cable or DSL with Wi-Fi,
accelerating wireless broadband deployment, thereby creating a platform for
revenue sharing between the synergistic companies and increased revenues for
them by delivering new added services. It could also provide significant
savings to Mobile Carriers in additional frequency spectrum and infrastructure
equipment by offloading capacity to the Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)
and IP networks while providing additional sources of revenue.
The integration of ASNAP(TM) technology will enable greatly enhanced
services such as broadband connectivity, real time two way video conferencing,
VoIP and network-based gaming applications via Calypso's cellular phones,
PDA's (Personal Digital Assistance) or any mobile device powered with the
company's ASNAP(TM) technology. The patent has also given Calypso the rights
to offer license agreements to major mobile and ISP carriers as well as to
cellular phone manufacturers and OEMs. Calypso has also built upon its
patented ASNAP(TM) technology to create a new technology that could provide
'the' solution that allows satellite radio signals from carriers such as
Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio to be readily received by all types
of mobile wireless devices, thus generating a new potential revenue stream for
both the satellite radio companies and the companies supplying service to
mobile phones and devices and the manufacturers and retailers of those
devices, as well as the licensing of this technology by Calypso.
The newly acquired patented technologies enable cellular phones and
wireless PDA/Pocket PCs to convert any incoming text messages to voice
messages and any incoming voice messages are converted into text messages.
Calypso plans to license these four newly acquired patented technologies (US
Patents No. 6,385,306, No. 6,765,996, No. 6,839,412 and No. 7,031,439) to
mobile operators, Original Equipment Manufactures (cellular phones and
wireless PDA/Pocket PC manufacturers) and Internet Service Providers.
