JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRKR) (ParkerVision), a developer and marketer of semiconductor technology solutions for wireless applications, announced today that The Wall Street Transcript (TWST) has published an in-depth interview with Chief Executive Officer Jeff Parker. The interview, which was published in the January 11, 2010 issue of TWST, is available on the ParkerVision web site at http://www.parkervision.com/pdfs/PRKR-TWST-Interview-01-11-10.pdf or to subscribers at TWST's web site (www.twst.com).
During the interview, Mr. Parker noted that, "Our customers, which are the handset companies, the chipset companies who provide semiconductors to the handset companies, and their customers, who are the network carriers and ultimately the consumer who uses these devices, are looking for equipment that enable longer talk times, longer battery life and faster network data protocols. That's exactly where our technology is focused."
He went on to say that, "Today we find ourselves now in a transition where the research is largely behind us and it's really all about crafting our technology into the product forms that our customers desire. So we have sample handsets that we developed or co developed with one of our customers that proves conclusively the technology has the merits and is appropriate for use in the mobile handset space. It delivers the power savings we always predicted it would, shrinks the form factor and helps reduce cost.
"...Our goal as a company is to start gaining as much traction as we possibly can early this year and generating revenue through the sale of our products with our customers," said Mr. Parker. "The theme for us this year is really a transition from what has been a technology-centric theme to a revenue-generating theme," he added.
