About Calypso Wireless, Inc.

Calypso Wireless is the company behind the revolutionary ASNAP(tm) technology for which Calypso recently was granted US Patent # 6,680,923 tiled "Communication system method" (http://www.uspto.gov search U.S. patent number 6,680,923). Calypso's technology enables cell phones and other mobile devices to automatically detect an available wireless local area network and then seamlessly switch between the signals from a GSM/GPRS or CDMA cellular tower to a short-range broadband network such as cable with Wi-Fi. The wireless customer remains connected to the GSM/GPRS or CDMA network until his cell phone automatically detects and switches to a Wi-Fi network. At that point, the cell phone seamlessly switches to that network and is now able to connect at a speed of up to 11,000 Kbps (11Mbps) enabling movie-quality, real-time video conferencing via Calypso's cellular phones, or any cell phones powered with Calypso's technology.
