▤ Summary

AUSTIN, Texas--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Today Phunware, Inc. (NASDAQ: PHUN), a fully integrated enterprise cloud platform for mobile that provides companies the products, solutions, data and services for brands worldwide, announced the award of U.S. Patent No. Today’s mobile engagement and wayfinding solutions are largely based on GPS, using longitude (X) and latitude (Y) axes to determine location and position as a function of the available access to both cellular signals and towers. These varied inputs enable a holistically determined device position and location accounting for data from each source - whether active or inactive - with gaps filled through the company’s machine learning algorithm. “We’re extremely excited to have solved a complex, one-to-one engagement problem for sub-one-second indoor interactions and position updates on mobile for our MaaS customers and their consumers,” said Phunware’s co-founder and CTO, Luan Dang. This core vision established a future in which mobile applications were an increasingly important component of the relationship between brands and consumers and has since come to fruition in spades.
