InterDigital announced that its patent licensing subsidiaries have signed a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing patent license agreement with Singapore-based iWOW Connections. The agreement covers the sale of wireless terminal units and infrastructure, including wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, built to cellular Second Generation (2G and 2.5G) standards and Third Generation (3G) standards and to non-cellular wireless IEEE 802-based standards, through 2015.

"This new agreement with a M2M company expands InterDigital's licensing coverage and allows us to participate in one of the fastest growing segments of the market," commented Lawrence Shay, President of InterDigital's patent subsidiaries.

iWOW designs, manufactures, and markets wireless connectivity products using GSM, GPRS, and 3G technologies, addressing a wide array of applications in the M2M market.
