Sisvel Announces the Launch of its MIOTY LPWAN Licensing Program
Sisvel International S.A. (“Sisvel”) announced today the launch of its “MIOTY” Licensing Platform, a new joint patent licensing effort for the MIOTY technology.

In addition, Sisvel offers a license to patents complementary to MIOTY implementations.
Further information about the terms and conditions of Sisvel’s MIOTY licenses are available on Sisvel’s website https://www.sisvel.com/licensing-programs/wireless-communications/mioty/introduction. For more details you may contact Sisvel at the following e-mail address MIOTY@sisvel.com.

Thus, Sisvel invites all parties that have patents or patent applications they believe to be essential to the protocol family TS-UNB of the ETSI standard TS 103 357 to contact Sisvel and submit those patent(s) for an evaluation by the program’s designated, independent evaluators.
