A small company in Fort Myers called Interop Technologies is making big waves among mobile-phone operators.

In fact, the company recently was awarded a patent that will let cell-phone operators use Interop's cloud technology for things like chat messaging and video-file transfers.

That's important because many smaller mobile-phone operators can't afford the staff and maintenance of the hardware needed for these new communication functions. Interop provides a system that allows these carriers to outsource these functions without having to make a big investment in capital equipment and people.

Fact is, mobile-phone devices now offer myriad functions and many smaller operators need to keep up. These include video communication over the Internet, one-to-one and group messaging, video and image exchanges and file transfers.

With U.S. patent No. 8,856,356, Interop is in trials of the new technology in North and South America, Africa and Asia.
