Amalungelo obunikazi yibhizinisi elihambisa izigidi zamaRandi emhlabeni jikelele futhi kulokhu i-Apple ingenye yezinkampani ezinendawo enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, kepha kukhona ezinye ezinikezelwe ngokukhethekile ekwenzeni amalungelo obunikazi bese zibangisana ngazo. Kulokhu i-Optis Wireless Technology, ingeyenye yalezi zinkampani ehlanganisa iqembu lezinkampani ezinikele ngokukhethekile ubuchwepheshe be-patent bese ubopha ezinye izinkampani ukusebenzisa amalungelo abo obunikazi abhalisiwe.
I-Optis ne- its izinkampani ezingosisi, i-Optis Wireless Technology, I-Optis Cellular Technology, i-Unwired Planet, ne-Unwired Planet International yizinto ezingakhiqizi umkhiqizo eziphethe amalungelo obunikazi ambalwa azenzela imali ngamacala.
