`
`PLAINTIFFS
`
`11.
`
`SIPCO and IP CO are small research, development and technology companies
`
`based in Atlanta, Georgia. T. David Petite is a founding member of both companies.
`
`12.
`
`In the 1990’s, through his own individual research and development efforts, Mr.
`
`Petite invented a large number of wireless control and distribution technology applications. The
`
`inventions resulting from Mr. Petite’s efforts include, but are not limited to, various ways of
`
`moving data as economically and seamlessly as possible over both wired and wireless networks.
`
`13.
`
`Through the 1990’s and early 2000’s investors contributed tens of millions of
`
`dollars for technology development and implementation of networks. Clients included Georgia
`
`Power, Alabama Power, Newnan Utilities GA, Johnson Controls, Synovus Bank and Grand
`
`Court Lifestyles residential living facilities.
`
`14.
`
`After proving that the technology worked in the field, several companies
`
`competed to purchase an exclusive license to Mr. Petite’s technology for the market known as
`
`“smart grid.” Landis+Gyr (http://www.landisgyr.com/) (previously Siemens Metering) took an
`
`exclusive license to the smart grid technology in 2002 and in 2005 purchased rights to the
`
`technology for utility applications for $30,000,000. Mr. Petite’s technology has been deployed

`

`
`in millions of meters deployed across North America and throughout the world.
`
`15.
`
`SIPCO retained the rights to the mesh network patents, and for use of the
`
`technology outside of the utility space. It still maintains ownership of the software, firmware,
`
`hardware and patent portfolio that resulted from Mr. Petite’s research and development efforts,
`
`and SIPCO continues to develop and deploy wireless technology applications and wireless
`
`technology systems throughout the United States.
`
`16.
`
`SIPCO’s patent portfolios (of which the patents in suit are a part) include
`
`inventions that are widely recognized as pioneering in various fields of use. As a result, over 75
`
`corporations have taken licenses to them. Licensees include companies operating in the vertical
`
`markets of Industrial Controls, Smart Grid, Building Automation, Network Backhaul, Home
`
`Appliance, Home Automation and Entertainment, Sensor Monitoring, and Internet Service
`
`Provisioning. Licensed products include products using standard wireless mesh protocols such as
`
`WirelessHART, ZigBee, IEEE 802.15.4, Z-Wave, and as well as proprietary wireless protocols
`
`such as that marketed by Enocean.

`
`Streetline provides a parking management solution to governmental entities.
`
`The solution includes hardware such as gateways (or gateway servers), repeaters
`
`and parking sensors. Streetline’s parking sensors are sealed mechanical units mounted in or on
`
`a pavement surface which contain an array of sensing components and logic to manage the
`
`collection of data at the individual parking space regarding the presence of an automobile in a
`
`parking location, and have been provided as V2ISL-EPS – Imbedded Vehicle Sensor and V2ISL-
`
`SPS – Surface Mount Vehicle Sensor. Streetline repeater has been provided as V2ISL-RPP -

`
`gateways are collectively referred to as “Streetline Equipment.”
`

`
`The Streetline Equipment integrates, and the term “Streetline Equipment”
`
`includes, “motes-on-a-chip” supplied by the Dust Networks group of Linear Technology
`
`Corporation, which “motes-on-a-chip” are fully compliant to the WirelessHART (IEC62591)
`
`and IEEE 802.15.4e wireless mesh networking standards to form fully redundant wireless self-
`
`forming, self-healing multi-hop mesh network of nodes or motes to monitor and to collect and
`
`relay data, and specifically meet the standards for IEEE Std 802.15.4-2006, Wireless Medium
`
`Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for Low-Rate Wireless
`
`Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs), and are represented by the ultralow power, LTC5800
`
`and/or LTP5903 System-on-Chip. The Dust Networks system is referred to as “Smartmesh.”
`
`SmartMesh allows Streetline to reliably transmit street-level data in real time to their web-based
`
`suite of parking management applications. The typical application utilizing the LTC5800 and/or
`
`LTP5903 system-on-a-chip, is generally shown below, and does represent the Streetline solution:

`
`The Streetline solution also includes several application programs and interfaces,

`
`and achieve optimal turnover), ParkSight Analytics™ (a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) which
`
`provides parking data that can be accessed 24/7 with a secure login credential via the web)
`
`and/or ParkingData (which provides access to data for parking locations and availability through
`
`two complementary APIs) (collectively, “Streetline Programs”).
