U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Grants Vonage Two More Patents
HOLMDEL, N.J., July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE: VG), a leading provider of communication services connecting people through cloud-connected devices worldwide, today announced that it has been granted two new patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office: U.S. Pat. No. 8,483,210, "Method and Apparatus for Voice Traffic Management in a Data Network," and U.S. Pat. No. 8,478,548, "Apparatus and Method for Automated Inventory Tracking and Authentication."
The '210 patent, issued today, relates to a device that transmits both voice and non-voice communications such as a VoIP (Voice-over-Internet Protocol) telephone adapter. The patented technology maintains the voice quality on calls by automatically adjusting the device's bandwidth.
"This invention ensures that call quality remains high in situations where it could be otherwise compromised, including when the internet connection used for making VoIP calls is also used for other purposes, for example, downloading large files," said Chief Legal Officer Kurt M. Rogers.
The '548 patent, issued on July 2, relates to technology that allows network operators to verify that devices connected to their networks, such as VoIP telephone adapters, were distributed through authorized channels.
Vonage has been granted nine patents so far in 2013. The company now has 27 U.S. patents and nearly 180 U.S. patent applications pending, along with many foreign patents and pending applications in jurisdictions worldwide.
