Dow Jones Description
ParkerVision, Inc. (the "Company" or "we") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida on August 22, 1989. We are in the business of designing, developing and selling our proprietary radio frequency ("RF") technologies and products for use in semiconductor circuits for wireless communication products. Our business includes licensing our intellectual property for incorporation into wireless products designed by our customers. We have also recently entered into an agreement for the joint development and marketing of wireless radio modules that incorporate our technologies. Under this agreement, we will supply unpackaged integrated circuits that will be manufactured for us, based on our designs, under agreements with various semiconductor foundries. In addition, our business may include, from time to time, providing engineering consulting and design services to our customers, for a negotiated fee, to assist them in developing products incorporating our technologies. We are primarily focused on incorporating our technologies into mobile handsets, but our technologies are applicable to other wireless products that are related to networks serving mobile handsets such as data cards, pico cells, and femtocells. Our technology can also be applied to non-cellular radio applications such as military radios.
