China Voice Holding Corp. has just received the protection it needs to aggressively forge strategic partnerships within China’s burgeoning VoIP market. The provider of VoIP, office automation, and wireless solutions for government, businesses and consumers in the People’s Republic of China and the United States announced today that its exclusive Chinese license for WRIO wireless broadband technology has been significantly strengthened by the issuance of a Chinese patent for the WRIO technology.
Last August, CHVC announced that it had secured exclusive distribution rights in China for the WRIO wireless broadband technology from WRIO Corp., a Dallas, Texas-based company. WRIO wireless broadband access service allows customers in underserved and un-served areas to enjoy the same benefits of the high-speed and low-cost Internet access as users from major cities in China. WRIO’s application software enables the use of standard, non-proprietary hardware and is built upon a now patented Hybrid Digital Video Broadcast (HDVB) technology. This technology utilizes a proprietary, long-range, high-data rate forward link based on the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB ) international standard. WRIO technology provides very high-speed transmission of voice, data, and video information at an infrastructure cost less than 20 percent of competitive technologies. This technology allows the company to cost-effectively provide Internet Telephony services on its own network as well as flexible configuration for secure, inter-office virtual private networks and custom, high-data rate applications.
WRIO technology is also protected by several patents pending filed in the U.S., Singapore, and the European Union.
According to CHVC’s president and CEO Bill Burbank: “WRIO’s patent speeds up our market entry as we now have the protection needed to aggressively pursue the business partners in China that are currently building WiFi and WiMax networks for similar purposes. After we have secured these strategic partners, our Chinese subsidiaries will generate revenue through licensing and revenue sharing relationships.”
Just last week, CHVC revealed that it was in the final stages of completing the initial contract phase to provide its integrated Internet Telephony and patented groupware and office automation solution to the Chinese Leading Group Office of the Poverty Alleviation and Development Agency. The integrated voice and data solution is provided by one of the CHVC’s Chinese subsidiaries, Candidsoft Technologies Company Ltd. of Beijing, Inc. This agreement combined with the Company’s previously announced agreement with the Navigation Affair Administration Bureau of the GuangXi Autonomous Region calls for the company to install a minimum of 85,000 seats. Upon installation, the Company projects that the revenue from these two contracts will exceed over $30 million annually.
