About Digit Wireless
Digit Wireless is a company focused on developing and licensing intellectual property for the mobile and wireless communications industry. The firm's core business revolves around creating solutions that enhance the user experience and functionality of mobile devices, particularly concerning text input and user interfaces.
The company's primary offering is the Digit keyboard, a patented keyboard layout designed to be an alternative to the standard QWERTY layout on mobile phones. This keyboard arranges letters in a different configuration, aiming to make typing faster and more intuitive on compact devices. The business model is centered on licensing this technology to mobile handset manufacturers and other technology companies who can then integrate it into their products. The target clients are therefore established players in the mobile device market.
Digit Wireless was founded by Ben-Zion Ornan and Jim Cooper. Ornan serves as the Chief Technology Officer, leveraging his background as an inventor to spearhead the technological development of the company's keyboard solutions. Cooper, the Chief Executive Officer, brings his experience in management and business development to guide the company's strategic direction and commercialization efforts. Their combined expertise drives the company's mission to introduce more efficient data entry methods for wireless devices.
