Satellite radio could soon hit your iPod, PDA, and cell phone with Calypso Wireless’s new patent pending technology. The company has devised a solution based on their ASNAP (Automatic Switching of Network Access Points) technology that can allow your mobile wireless device to receive satellite broadcasts from either satellite transmitters or WiFi. The press release doesn’t go into detail on design specifications, with no indication if it will be packaged as a device accessory or built into future devices.
"Satellite radio service providers are already working to attract more subscribers by offering new data services like streaming news, stock quotes and sports scores. The next logical step is for them to also try to offer ways for their subscribers to be able to receive their signals in more places, like in their homes or at work and via all types of mobile devices, such as PDAs, iPods and cell phones. That is where Calypso's state-of-the-art switching technology comes in." says George Schilling, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calypso Wireless, Inc.
"Subscribers would no longer have to worry about weak or lost satellite radio signals when they go into buildings as long as there is an available broadband network or WiFi access point that their mobile radio or device equipped with Calypso's technology could jump synch with, making a seamless jump from their provider's satellite. This could be a major move for the industry," continues Schilling.
Satellite radio has grown in popularity, new devices and services have been poping up everywhere, and with over 4 million subscribing users last year its looking pretty darn good. The service has exceeded analysts expectations but the question is, how many people will jump on the pay-for-radio bandwagon, and how many will stick to online downloads?
Mr. Valenti will also oversee the development of ASNAP(TM) Server Controller (ASC) so that the server solution is fully integrated with the backend and VoIP platform that Carriers like Vodafone (NYSE: VOD), Telefonica (NYSE: TEF), etc. use in order to provide a simple integration of VoIP and ASNAP(TM).

US : Calypso Wireless announced that the company is in negotiations with one of the largest cable companies in the U.S. to license and purchase Calypso's ASNAP(tm) technology and related products to the cable company.
Calypso Wireless has proprietary technology that seamlessly switches back and forth between cellular (GSM/GPRS or CDMA) networks and Wi-Fi wireless local area networks (WLAN) utilizing the 802.11 standard without losing connectivity. This makes Calypso's technology a natural fit for cable companies such as Comcast, Charter Communications and Cablevision.

REVENUES FROM CHINA LOOK NEWS,Calypso Wireless has signed a $500 million, 3-year agreement with China Telecom to supply them with technology to allow mobile phone users to switch to a VoIP link and back again, via Wi-Fi.
Calypso will provide a complete infrastructure solution and is offering a deal in which domestic users will have a rebate on their broadband bills if phone users use their open WLAN for calls.
The Calypso/China Telecom deal will see shipments begin in very soon The initial production shipments of Wi-Fi access points, phones and the Media Gateway Controllers linking them will begin very soon.
Calypso Wi-Fi-cell patent questioned
Calypso Wireless, the wireless company trying to charge a licence for any roaming between Wi-Fi and cellular networks on the basis of a controversial US patent, says a service provider is about to licence its technology. However, a report from an intellectual property lawyer claims to have found prior art that would invalidate the patent.
Calypso has claimed the right to charge licences for all cell-to-WLAN roaming on the basis of US patent 6,680,923 issued in January, which covers automated handover between different wireless networks. Now the company says a service provider is "in negotiations" to license Calypso's ASNAP technology.
Calypso would not say what company it is negotiating with. It is most likely a US service provider, although the company says it is aggressively pursuing mobile carriers, not limited to Europe but Latin America, Canada and Asia as well. The claims it makes for the patent, if upheld, would certainly require BT to pay royalties for the Bluephone cell-to-Bluetooth roaming system jointly announced with Vodafone last week.
However, patent advisory firm Patent Metrix claims to have come up with "prior art". The company has found a specific US patent, issued in January 1995, that covers roaming between wireless base stations and the cell network.
"An express statement in the earlier patent talks about automated handover," said Hazim Ansari, chief executive of Patent Metrix and author of the report. He does not claim to have the definitive answer, only ammunition for companies approached by Calypso, who would use the earlier patent to argue that Calypso's should not have been issued, and punt the whole issue back to the Patent Office.
"The Patent Office only has a limited amount of time, so it is natural for mistakes to be made. In the wireless world, the patent office doesn't appear to be sufficiently taking into account the history of wireless communication in evaluating patents submitted."
Ansari has showed Techworld his nine-page report, but asked us not to reveal the details, including the number and owner of the earlier patent. The report is for sale for $295.
Reading between the lines, it may be that Calypso's "negotiations" are to sell its ASNAP technology, rather than licence its patent per se. ASNAP includes a WiFi-to-cell roaming phone, and software to handle the all-important political dimension, linking the different service providers' billing systems, so both get a revenue share
"Why would a [cellular] carrier hand off its client to a [Wi-Fi] ISP, unless there is a revenue share?" asks Calypso spokesman George Schilling. "Multi-billion dollar companies don't want to hand clients away. What our technology does is provide the carrier with the ability to connect and share the revenues."
Maybe, but does the patent cover revenue-sharing? Schilling says it does: "Billing and revenue sharing is in the patent". Then he hesitates: "If it's not in the patent, it is part of the programme." A quick re-read of the patent reveals no mention of revenue sharing.
It's our guess that whoever is talking to Calypso is evaluating its technology, checking out how good its seamless roaming is compared to other offerings, and comparing its revenue-sharing against other billing systems. If it's trying to extract patent royalties from competing technology, we expect it is getting short shrift, though Schilling claims not: "We haven't been challenged on the patent," he says. "If others try to deploy this technology, we will put them on notice. We will protect our patent."
Schilling wants to see a little ASNAP sticker on every next-generation roaming phone, "similar to a computer with an Intel Inside label". Calypso hopes its patent will keep any AMDs out of the market, or at least force them to hand over lots of money.
Ansari begs to differ: "Smart wireless companies will be evaluating deals with Calypso based on its technology, not its patent position," he says. And maybe, behind the bluster, Calypso is preparing to accept this: "When we come out with our phone, it will hopefully be the best in the marketplace," said Schilling.

Halt - all Wi-Fi roaming is hereby taxed
By Peter Judge, Techworld
Calypso Wireless has been granted a patent which appears to claim ownership of the whole concept behind roaming between Wi-Fi and wireless WAN networks such as GSM.
As zillions of device manufacturers have been demonstrating such devices for some time now, this looks to us like the latest in a series of attempts by lawyer-crazed companies to patent existing technology.
Calypso's patent, US Patent number 6,680,923, specifies "the seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access points… and short-range Internet access points".
This is stuff that is routinely shown at trade shows - this week's prime example being the Nokia Communicator shown at 3GSM, which even included middleware from IBM to keep things connected at the application level when cutting across from one network to another. This reporter has personally heard Nokia discussing the ability to roam from Wi-Fi to cellular for the last five years.
There are plenty of companies already selling products to do the specific job Calypso claims to have patented, for instance Green Packet's SONaccess and Birdstep's Mobile IP technology.
So, if Calypso has a patent in the area you would think it must have some pretty interesting new technology, right? Well you would but as far as our reading of the patent takes us, you would be wrong.
The patent is written in the usual impenetrable patent-speak and spends a long time explaining that any device roaming between one or more different networks must be able to log onto all them (a leap in human imagination). Then it brings out its big idea: "The communication system and method of the present invention also incorporates auto-switching capabilities…"
That's right, Calypso has stumbled on what apparently no one had thought of before. If you are going to roam between different networks, you have to switch. Automatically.
"To fully understand how revolutionary Calypso Wireless' technology is, simply compare the 11,000Kbit/s speed of 802.11b to the data transfer capabilities of existing wireless cellular networks in the US," chirps the release, as if the company is single-handedly responsible for creating 802.11b.
Calypso is apparently not a hollow patent-exploiting company, as it does have roaming technology, called ASNAP. Whether this patent puts it "light-years" ahead of its competition, as the release claims, remains to be seen.
It certainly appears to be ready to start milking the cash cow: "In the near term Calypso will start the process of contacting major mobile carriers in the industry to notify them of this patent," the release states.
This is only the latest in a series of weird patents to hit the industry, including Eolas' attempt to patent embedded content and BT's fabled attempt to patent the hyperlink.
