Honolulu Wireless — Company Profile
Company overview. "Honolulu Wireless" appears as a party name only in a single patent case, and no corporate website, registration filing, or press coverage matching that exact name could be verified through available sources. Public Hawaii records and news describe a similarly named entity, Hawaiian Wireless Inc., a Honolulu-based cellular carrier that in July 2001 agreed to sell assets of its Honolulu cellular phone system to Nextel Partners and AT&T Wireless (Honolulu Advertiser, July 11, 2001). Whether "Honolulu Wireless" is the same company, a former trade name, or a separate small carrier could not be confirmed. The date of formation, ownership status, employee count, and revenue are all unverified.
Products / services / operations. Based on the case context and Hawaii press, the entity appears to have been a small regional wireless/cellular carrier serving the Honolulu market — i.e., an operating telecom provider rather than a patent-holding shell. No verified product lines or service offerings beyond general cellular service could be documented for the "Honolulu Wireless" name specifically.
Patent-litigation posture. Honolulu Wireless appears in our database exactly once, as a defendant and never as a plaintiff, which is the profile of a small operating company being sued rather than an entity asserting patents. It was named in Freedom Wireless, Inc. v. Centennial Cellular Operating Co. et al. (D. Mass., filed May 20, 2005), alongside co-defendants Boston Communications Group and Centennial Cellular Operating Co. The plaintiff, Freedom Wireless, Inc., was a well-known patent-holding entity that asserted prepaid-wireless patents (notably U.S. Patent 6,157,823) against numerous carriers and prepaid-billing vendors that used Boston Communications Group's prepaid platform. The case was filed in the District of Massachusetts, not a plaintiff-friendly Texas venue.
Notable cases / context. The only tracked matter is the 2005 D. Mass. Freedom Wireless suit. It reflects the prepaid-wireless billing technology focus of the period and Honolulu Wireless's likely role as a smaller carrier customer of a prepaid-billing vendor swept into a broader NPE campaign. Details on the company's fate, its relationship to Hawaiian Wireless Inc., and the outcome of the litigation could not be verified.
