MachineTalker Buys UTEK Corporation's Subsidiary Micro Wireless Technologies

By Divya Narain, TMCnet Contributing Editor

UTEK Corporation, a provider of smart wireless security networks, has purchased Micro Wireless Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of UTEK, in a stock transaction. UTEK is a business development company that facilitates technology transfer from universities and laboratories to the industry. 



 
Micro Wireless Technologies, Inc. holds an exclusive license to a sophisticated technology that has been evolved by University of South Florida (USF) researchers. This technology follows a direct conversion approach to micro-wireless sensing technology. It embeds physical and chemical property sensing capabilities within RF transmission systems. This environmental sensor bundles up traditional sensor and telemetry capabilities into one.
 
“The addition of these telemetric micro-sensors will permit the formation of wireless clusters of sensors around each MachineTalker to monitor and process patterns of change at a remote location. Each Talker can analyze its own sensor data and can make local decisions or share content with other Talkers as an intelligent node on a wireless mesh network. We believe that with this technology our customers will be able to deploy small detectors, serviced by a local processor as part of a larger network for monitoring intrusion or environmental changes,” explained MachineTalker’s President Roland Bryan.
 
“We are very excited about working with MachineTalker as they help to develop and commercialize our technology,” said Jaideep Rajput, Licensing Manager at the University of South Florida.
 
“UTEK is pleased to consummate this technology transfer with MachineTalker,” said Joel Edelson, Vice President of Technology Licensing at UTEK Corporation.
 
With operations in United States, United Kingdom and Israel, UTEK also offers services that allow companies to make the best use of their intellectual property.
