Cellport Systems was founded in 1993 to develop a patented concept for universal hands-free adaptors (car-kits) for portable cell phones. With cellular industry financing Cellport proceeded to design, develop, and manufacture its universal car kits. Continuing to invest in connectivity architectures and technologies, Cellport Systems broadened its efforts to include vehicle telematics and digital data integration with vehicle as well as other consumer systems. In 1997 Mercedes Benz used Cellport technology to demonstrate the first vehicle as a node on the Internet. These pioneering efforts have resulted in an impressive patent portfolio as well as significant understanding of vehicle networking systems. Recently Cellport has decided to focus on licensing its portfolio while further developing its technologies, leaving hardware development to its licensees. This has been a successful strategy and has enabled many global Tier-One suppliers as well as consumers to benefit from Cellport technologies. Cellport is now developing next generation wireless connectivity solutions which will provide a future-proof architecture and advanced features for 3G wireless phones.
