ZuluTime, LLC (www.zulutimecorp.com) announced today issuance of US Patent #7,876,266, “Harmonic Block Technique for Computing Space-Time Solutions for Communication Networks,” covering a new architecture that enables wireless networks to become “location aware” through normal communications traffic on those networks. Simply by their involvement in a ZuluTime software-enabled wireless network, smartphones and other networked devices can be immediately located and positioned with greater accuracy, particularly in distortion-rich environments.

Unlike other location-based services that require a device to interpret network information to determine a position, the ZuluTime network architecture and technology are the first to put location intelligence on the network. A ZuluTime network can immediately learn the location of any device as soon as that device connects to it, with accuracy in a few meters versus tens of meters with existing solutions. The ZuluTime technology is particularly well-suited for indoor applications, and is capable of precision positioning on wireless networks of any variety, including Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, enhanced GPS, wireless sensor networks, ZigBee and even Near Field Communications (NFC). This unique technology agnostic approach addresses concerns of IT and mobile media departments with respect to future scalability and migration to newly adopted wireless protocols.

The patent claims address the rudimentary data gathering and data sharing components necessary to weave location capabilities directly into the fabric of wireless network operations. Accuracy and latency is greatly improved for indoor applications, from the tens of meters and tens of seconds in most current methodologies down to aisle-level and a few seconds with ZuluTime. This means that smartphones and similar devices can be now located accurately and generate navigation services for the user in interior spaces where GPS signals cannot penetrate or yield low accuracy.

“This initial patent teaches how basic engineering practices can harvest and share information from the normal packet traffic of wireless networks, eliminating the need for network synchronization, monitoring or classic ‘master references,’” said Geoffrey Rhoads, ZuluTime’s co-founder and holder of more than 300 U.S. patents. “Imagine the services and analytics that can be created for such applications as retail. A big box retailer can know the shopping patterns of every customer that walks into its store with a switched on phone without violating any privacy. Shoppers can opt in for a wide variety of experience-enhancing services such as location-relevant coupons, navigation maps leading to items on specific shelves and summoning a customer service rep to the exact location where the shopper is standing.”

The announcement of the patent comes as retail and social location-based services are gaining significant growth and consumer adoption. The ZuluTime solution locates a shopper’s smartphone persistently at aisle level during the shopper’s trip throughout an entire store. Retailers and brands can then generate personalized, relevant offers based on the shopper’s location, loyalty program profile and real-time shopping behavior in the store. Through extracting the X,Y and Z coordinates of a shopper with time codes, retailers can observe individual shopping paths, dwell times and changes in shopper behavior based on offers, displays or changes in store layout.

About ZuluTime
ZuluTime is innovating and evolving position, navigation and timing (PNT) technologies for wireless networks. The company’s patented architecture enables wireless networks to become “location aware” through normal communications traffic that occurs on those networks. Simply by their involvement in a wireless network, smartphones and other networked devices are located and positioned in interior spaces with far greater accuracy, even in distortion-rich environments where GPS signals cannot penetrate. ZuluTime technology greatly expands opportunities for location-based services in retail, social networks and industrial applications without embedded technology or special rule sets or synchronization. ZuluTime is privately held and was formed in 2006 to develop new inventions in position, navigation and timing (PNT) technologies for wireless networks.

A cumulative audience of nearly 400,000 visiting soccer fans from all over the world came to South Africa in June to watch 32 countries compete in the 19th FIFA World Cup tournament. As they attended games and enjoyed the festivities they sent home pictures, videos and messages using email and messaging services, all over wireless data networks. As one of the largest eXchange service providers to enable inter-network roaming, Aicent, Inc. (www.aicent.com), recorded huge surges in network traffic during the competition, as much as 300 percent over the weeks just prior.

“As the data from our network shows, the World Cup is truly a social event where fans want to share the revelry with friends and family,” said Lynn Liu, president & CEO at Aicent. “Wireless data networks made sharing the action better than ever before as fans sent back millions of pictures, videos, tweets, emails and text messages from games in South Africa to their friends back home. Subscribers from a great number of international wireless networks were all able to use their mobile phones from South Africa due to roaming eXchanges like Aicent.”

Aicent is a leading provider of data network, messaging and roaming solutions for mobile operators globally serving more than 2.5 billion mobile subscribers around the world. Aicent operates one of the world’s largest GPRS and 3G network eXchanges, directly connecting to over 100 operators, including nine of the world’s ten largest. Aicent’s MMS and SMS eXchanges is one of industry’s largest, interconnecting with over 150 mobile operators around the world.

Aicent observed that traffic correlated directly with the number of matches taking place on a specific day; the more matches in a day, the higher traffic would spike. The day with the highest volume of data traffic was Wednesday, June 23, the day that Nigeria and South Korea played to a tie, Argentina defeated Greece, England defeated Slovenia, and the United States defeated Algeria. The day with the next highest volume was Tuesday, June 15, when three matches between Italy and Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia, and Cote d’Ivoire and Portugal all ended in ties.

Aicent’s data shows that Americans were among the largest group of people visiting South Africa, with more than 60 percent of Aicent’s data traffic coming from customers of GSM operators in the United States. On days when the US National Team played, these operators experienced their largest spikes in traffic, with traffic leaving South Africa far and away exceeding traffic coming to South Africa by a ratio exceeding 4:1.

Soccer fans in South Africa relied on their mobile phones to share pictures, videos, live game updates and other messages with friends back home. In fact, according to Mayan Mathen, CTO of Dimension Data, during the World Cup, South Africa became one of the highest “tweet” sources in the world, referring to the Twitter social network phenomenon. World Cup fans in South Africa averaged 750 tweets per second, with some 3,500 going out every second during World Cup matches.

“Video service providers will require a new generation of high performance, highly reliable video processing solutions to implement ‘three screen’ service in which high quality video is delivered to TVs, PCs and mobile devices on a large scale,” said Gerry Kaufhold, Principal Analyst with In-Stat, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Today’s announcement between RGB and RipCode demonstrates that they understand the requirements for these new solutions and that they have the necessary software and hardware components for this new generation of products.”

“Joining forces with RGB makes a lot of sense—not only does our flexible transcoding and delivery technology round out the second and third screen solution needs of RGB’s strategy, but it also strengthens RipCode’s solution scalability for many of our existing customers and opportunities,” said Brendon Mills, CEO of RipCode. “In addition to providing a very compelling solution for three screen delivery, we can also now add high-density, carrier-class transcoding, delivery, monetization and optimization into our existing solutions for web video service providers, mobile network operators and government live and on-demand applications. So this is a win-win not only for RGB and RipCode, but RipCode’s existing customers and partners as well.”

“We examined several options before concluding that integrating RipCode’s technology into our VMG would be the most effective way to complete a three screen solution that would meet the challenges faced by cable, telco and mobile operators,” said Yuval Fisher, RGB’s Chief Technology Officer. “We have built the VMG specifically to enable video service providers to seamlessly implement three screen delivery, serving as the heart of a new generation of IP-centric headends.”

In addition to tightly integrating RipCode’s technology into RGB’s product line, RipCode will continue serving its existing customers and markets with its transcoder hardware and software products. Nearly all of RipCode’s employees are being retained, including the engineering team, and will continue to operate out of RipCode’s office in Austin, Texas.
