MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS -- Under the banner of
"Creating the Living Network," InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a
wireless research and development company, today unveiled its new
technologies and initiatives for Mobile World Congress, the
industry's premier conference, which is taking place in Barcelona.
The company's presence at MWC 2014 includes a number of new
initiatives that cement the company's role as a technology
innovator and thought leader. In terms of product and technology
demonstrations:
- The company will unveil a live demo of a 3.5GHz radio featuring
guaranteed Quality of Service – an industry first public
demonstration, and a significant advancement in the operator
feasibility of shared spectrum in line with U.S. and international
initiatives to free new sources of spectrum.
- InterDigital will also demo a variety of video technologies
that are designed to significantly reduce bandwidth in both
streaming and real-time video.
- The company will also feature Smart Access Manager, the
company's Wi-Fi management client that is in field trials with
top-tier operators worldwide, as well as ground-breaking 5G
research focused on millimeter wave backhaul.
- In a first, InterDigital's Innovation Partners unit will host
demo areas from partners DDD Group, VTT Technical Research Centre
and BIO-key International.
"Innovation is the lifeblood of InterDigital, and this year's
Mobile World Congress is a tremendous opportunity for our company
to show not only what we're doing with our Innovation Labs research
teams, but also what the research teams that are part of our
Innovation Partners effort are contributing in terms of
technology," said Scott A. McQuilkin, Senior Executive Vice
President, Innovation. "Most importantly, it's clear that our
innovation footprint is continuing to grow, beyond core network and
device operations and into exciting areas like video, security and
context awareness."
InterDigital is also hosting a number of events, streaming live
to the Web. In collaboration with LiveCast and Inmarsat,
InterDigital will host video playback of live and pre-recorded band
performances from around Barcelona, using LiveCast's end to end
platform for live video broadcasting – which integrates
InterDigital scaling technology for bandwidth savings – and a
satellite uplink from Inmarsat.
Again using LiveCast technology, InterDigital invites
researchers, analysts, partners and investors to join the company's
representatives for additional events:
- On Tuesday, February 25 at 3PM CET (9AM Eastern), InterDigital
and the Telecommunications Industry Association will kick off
InterDigital's Creating the Living Network discussion series by
streaming a live panel on Wi-Fi management. Hosted by TIA NOW's Abe
Nejad, the panel will feature thought leaders from some of the
industry's leading vendors as well as Berge Ayvazian, a senior
consultant with Heavy Reading, one of the telecom industry's
leading analysis publications.
- On Wednesday, February 26 at 3PM CET (9AM Eastern),
InterDigital will stream live demos from the booth. To view the

"InterDigital's role in the mobile industry is, and always has
been, to innovate and to be a thought leader for the future, and
Mobile World Congress is a tremendous opportunity to show that once
again. In addition, our demos for both video technology and Smart
Access Manager this year show that InterDigital's research is being
successfully integrated into market-ready products," said William
J. Merritt, President and CEO. "Beyond that, by placing our demo
for 2014 under the theme of Creating the Living Network, our
company is bringing all our research and collaboration under a
clear vision: a future of smart, self-optimizing networks, that
connect a broad variety of devices and device types through a range
of network resources, and provide the connectivity and data that
enable services that will change the way our world works and the
way we live."
