Viper Patents "Mantenna" (April 1, 2012)
distributed by noodls on 04/01/2012 12:48
April 1, 2012 - Viper, the world's leading manufacturer of
car security and remote start products, has invented new
wearable antenna technology that is purported to double the
range of traditional keyfob-based radio frequency (RF)
products.
Viper, well known for its long-range car control products, is leveraging its RF technology expertise to develop an entirely new way to extend your range. The product looks like a high-tech Band-Aid that gets applied under the user's chin. The user then holds their transmitter against the "Band-Aid" while operating it to extend the range of their keyfob up to three times its normal distance.
According to the patent filing, Viper deploys "nano-circuitry in a highly compact and flexible form factor, combined with amplifier and antenna technology to significantly boost the signal strength of the keyfob using the inherent transmitting potential found in our bodies." Building on the advances in body-wearable sensor device research, Viper has engineered this innovative and fashionable device that many are calling "the biggest thing since the BlackBerry Playbook."
We contacted a company representative who confirmed that the product, called the Viper Mantenna, will be launched later this year exclusively in mobile electronics stores and premium fashion retailers. According to the representative, "we think the Mantenna is going to be a huge hit, and we have plans to extend the line in a range of fashion colors, and ultimately a Dr. Dre edition."
I asked the representative if the Mantenna will stick to users sporting a beard and she responded "usually, but we recommend they shave the beard into a soul patch, which we discovered works to even further amplify the signal strength."
Viper generated a flurry of media attention when it launched Viper SmartStart, which enables users to start their car from anywhere in the world with their smartphone. We'll see if the Mantenna can follow suit.
