St. Petersburg, FL, April 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infrax Systems, Inc., (OTCQB: IFXY), a global provider of
Internet of Things for the Energy and Utility industries, announces
today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
has recently granted three U.S. provisional patents to the Company,
bringing the total of six active patents held by the company. These
new patents enable a unique proprietary secure mesh networking and
transport that will enable the next generation platform for M2M
communication, creating ubiquitous data accessibility.
The newly-issued U.S. provisional patents include the
following:
Patent # 6,1971,231 entitled "Secure Network Interface Card "
The network interface card has a universal Host Interface Board
(HIB) with a wireless module functioning as a daughter board to the
HIB. The HIB has a wireless radio in the 915 MHz spectrum
which will be used for diagnostic testing, and has the capacity to
be converted for Home Area Networking (HAN) at a later date. A
wireless WAN module communicates with the HIB, and transmits data
to the utility's control center. The module uses ISM 2400 MHz
spectrum and complies with IEEE 802.15.4 specifications.
Patent # 6,1971,297 entitled " Smart Grid Mini
Collector/Regenerator " The invention is a self-contained network
interface repeater that serves several functions and brings network
intelligence and analytics to the closest point with the electric
meters in an Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI). The primary
function of this unit is to manage and aggregate meter data from
all meters in its cell and relay this data to Smart Grid
Collectors.
Patent # 6,1971,286 entitled " Smart Grid Collector/Concentrator
Gateway " The system includes a collector unit that is standalone,
backward compatible and highly secured. The system provides a
reliable smart grid gateway that will facilitate both Advanced
Metering Infrastructure, as well as Distribution Automation.
It is geared for utilities prospectively launching into the smart
grid space either through AMI or Distribution automation and are
looking to significantly enhance their communications capability in
a cost effective manner.
The US provisional Patents will further protect our intellectual
properties for our products, which creates fundamental path in our
delivery of Internet of Things to the utilities. Infrax will be
filing more patents in the coming weeks. The patents will also
provide protection for delivery of our products in the very near
future. The SNIC is the cornerstone product for next generation
(Smart Grid II) AMI/Smart Grid network with enhanced security, high
bandwidth and reliability through a multi-layered, segmented LAN
architecture that is intuitive and user friendly.
"The issuance of these three additional patents in 2014 further
validates the innovative nature of our platform technology and the
proprietary methods we use to produce our products. Infrax's patent
estate now consists of more than six patents, and we expect
additional patent issuances in 2014 and 2015 which will further
strengthen our broad patent estate," said Sam Talari, CEO of
Infrax.
