SPYR’s Subsidiary GeoTraq Granted Patent Covering Various Aspects of Operation of Its Mobile IoT Wireless Modules
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire – SPYR Technologies ("SPYR" or the "Company"), a technology company, announces today that the company's subsidiary Geotraq has been granted a patent which covers various aspects of operation of its mobile IoT wireless modules.
得克薩斯州伍德蘭茲，2022年6月14日(Global Newswire)--科技公司威盛投資者線SPYR Technologies(“SPYR”或“公司”)今天宣佈，該公司的子公司Geotraq已被授予一項專利，該專利涵蓋其移動物聯網無線模塊運營的各個方面。
Chris Chammas, project engineer, stated, "GeoTraq is a mobile Internet of Things ("IoT") technology company that designs innovative wireless modules that provide Location Based Services ("LBS") and connect external sensors to the IoT. GeoTraq is planning to manufacture and sell wireless transceiver modules and subscription services that will allow connectivity using publicly available global mobile IoT networks. GeoTraq addresses the large LBS market segment that is currently underserved with existing solutions due to high deployment costs (hardware, service, logistics), limited battery life and large form factors. We believe there is a large, underserved portion of the LBS market that is not addressed by existing solutions. RFID and Wi-Fi require proximity for asset tracking, while GPS is too bulky and uses too much power for many needs. GeoTraq addresses the white space in-between by designing wireless transceiver modules with technology that provides LBS directly from global mobile IoT networks. GeoTraq's technology allows for a substantially lower cost solution, extended service life, a small form factor, and even disposable devices, which we believe can significantly reduce return logistics costs."
項目工程師克里斯·錢馬斯表示：“GeoTraq是一家移動物聯網(IoT)技術公司，設計創新的無線模塊，提供基於位置的服務(LBS)，並將外部傳感器連接到物聯網。GeoTraq正計劃製造和銷售無線收發模塊和訂閲服務，這些模塊和訂閲服務將允許使用公開可用的全球移動物聯網網絡進行連接。GeoTraq針對的是龐大的LBS細分市場，由於高部署成本(硬件、服務、物流)、有限的電池壽命和較大的外形尺寸，現有解決方案目前無法滿足這一細分市場的需求。我們認為，現有解決方案沒有解決LBS市場中很大一部分服務不足的問題。RFID和Wi-Fi需要接近才能進行資產跟蹤，而GPS太笨重，耗電太多，無法滿足許多需求。GeoTraq通過設計無線收發模塊，採用直接從全球移動物聯網網絡提供LBS的技術，解決了中間空白。GeoTraq的技術可以提供成本低得多的解決方案、更長的使用壽命、更小的外形尺寸，甚至是一次性設備，我們相信這可以大大降低退貨物流成本。“
GeoTraq applied for and was granted Patent No. 10,182,402, which covers various aspects of operation of its mobile IoT wireless modules. A description of the patent features and its various claims includes:
