Aerius International (OTC: AERS)
Business Summary
Aerius International Inc. (Pink Sheets: AERS) is a cell phone engineering, product design, and marketing company with facilities in California and Nevada. The company has an accomplished team at the helm, having extensive experience in the design, production, and sale of wireless technologies for civilian and military applications. Aerius plans to introduce a range of Aerius green mobile phones equipped with its proprietary energy efficient communication technology for cellular handset and other mobile communication devices.
Cell phones have arguably made a greater impact on society than any other invention in the past two decades. And today’s “smartphones” have evolved from basic communication devices to a means of staying connected with the world through multi-media entertainment, texting, Internet access, photos, social-networking sites, etc. But all this functionality is a massive power drain on a device that consumers constantly demand in a smaller and smaller package.
TECHNOLOGY: Aerius has developed a revolutionary antenna technology for cell phones proven by carriers and in independent CTIA authorized labs* to increase handset battery life 66% and reduce handset power loss into users, or Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) 99.4%. In addition, when carriers command Aerius equipped phones to operate at full power, Aerius increases handset coverage area 180% and phone power into networks 100% to 300% (3 dB to 6 dB).
Product and Technology<<Spacer>>>
The three types of antenna designs used in cell phone handsets manufactured today:
- COILED QUARTER-WAVE
- MEANDER QUARTER-WAVE
- CONVENTIONAL PIFA
All use two radiating elements, the resonator and the resonator ground plane. The three designs use components of its High-Density Interconnect (HDI) PCB as the resonator ground plane.
AERIUS BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY
The breakthrough innovation by Aerius uses antennas with built-in ground planes that do not need to use the HDI PCBs as ground planes.
The antenna redirects almost 100% of cell phone signals at a 180° arc away from the user.
Standard Phone Radiation Exposure With User
Aerius Phone Radiation Exposure With User
- SAFETY: Dramatically reduces handset power loss into user
- INCREASED BATTERY LIFE: Phones operate using less power increasing battery life up to 66% according to independent CTIA Authorized CETECOM lab reports
- GREEN TECHNOLOGY: Increased battery life cuts battery discards in half
Aerius A-10 Green Technology
- High-performance energy-efficient cell phones that redirect handset transmissions normally absorbed by the body, in a perfect 180 degree arc away from the body
- Significantly reduces handset power loss or SAR as tested by the FCC 99.4%, allowing phones to operate using less power increasing battery life 66%
- When full handset power is required by the network, extends handset coverage area more than 150% adding 100% to 300% (3 dB to 6 dB) more power into carrier RF link margins
U.S. FCC certified testing has shown that Aerius technology equipped phones reduce power loss into users as measured in SAR to 0.0093 W/kg on average, i.e. by 99.4% below the FCC maximum permissible standard of 1.6 W/kg. It improves upon the performance as measured in SAR of the currently best performing commercially available cell phone by 95.2%. This extends battery life by 2 to 4 hours by allowing them to operate on lesser power. By extending battery life by up to 66%, this technology has the potential to bring about a 50% reduction in battery discards.
Compared to any handset available in the market today, Aerius technology adds between 3dB to 6dB (100% to 300%) more power into carrier link margins. Perhaps most significant, the tests indicate that the technology, by virtually eliminating handset power loss absorbed by the user, increases handset range by 168% and single cell tower coverage area by an average of 282%. In addition, the power saved also means a reduction in carrier cell site CO2 emissions by 5 Tons per cell site per annum, which amounts to a 1.2 million ton reduction in CO2 emissions per annum in the US alone.
Leadership Team
CEO – Bill Luxon together with Aerius CTO founded RangeStar Wireless in 1995, now owned by Tyco International. RangeStar designed and sold new cellphone antenna designs to such companies as Nokia and Samsung, and earned numerous international design awards. Luxon also received patents on antennas he invented and earned additional patents on numerous products engineered, manufactured, and sold by companies he founded. Luxon has also led 5 companies from start-up to IPO or M&A.
VP, International Sales – Chuck Closterman has over 25 years sales training, management, recruiting and marketing experience. He served Polaroid Corporation as national accounts manager where he recruited and trained sales representatives nationwide, and Sunbeam Appliances in various sales management positions. Closterman recruits and screens sales reps for Aerius worldwide, and together with Luxon gained commitments from 100% of the first retailers they called on, Amazon.com and Newegg.com, to buy Aerius phones.
CTO – Greg Johnson brings 30 years of antenna design and manufacturing experience to Aerius. Johnson products include consumer, commercial, and military antennas for companies worldwide that have gained more than 20 patents, and Johnson antennas are currently used on U.S. and NATO military platforms worldwide such as combat vehicles and aircraft. Johnson also designed numerous high performance antennas for the CIA, the Australian military, and companies such as Toyota and Mazda Motors.
VP, Manufacturing – Joe Davis among many accomplishments Davis served as GM of a Silicon Valley Metal Products firm where he supplied over 125 million parts to the Ford Motor Company and achieved ISO 9000 certifications. Mr. Davis also was VP manufacturing for RangeStar from 1998 until 2001, a company founded by Bill Luxon and Greg Johnson, where he traveled worldwide selecting cell phone antenna manufacturers. Davis has earned two BS degrees from the University of Colorado, and a Masters Degree from Stanford University.
CFO – Les Shinozawa is an experienced wireless industry professional. He served as CFO and VP of Finance for CellularOne in San Francisco, now AT&T Wireless, and was Director of Finance for PacTel Cellular, later AirTouch, now merged with Vodafone in the UK.
