Lemko Corporation specializes in providing software that integrates with mobile network hardware to deliver turnkey 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks to wireless and mobile network operators. Their core offering is the Distributed Mobile Architecture (DMA) software, also known as Node1, which virtualizes network functions and deploys them at the edge of the network.

Lemko's products cater to various applications, including private 4G/5G networks, military and first responder tactical communications, rural broadband, and industrial IoT. They also offer solutions like dMARC for rural cellular, On-Demand Cellular (ODC) for public safety, and dMAG for connecting to existing cellular systems.

In terms of patent litigation, Lemko Corporation appears to be an operating company asserting its intellectual property. The company has one tracked case, Lemko Corporation v. AT&T Inc. et al., where it is listed as the plaintiff. This lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on March 17, 2025, alleges that AT&T is unlawfully utilizing Lemko's patented mobile network innovations. Lemko claims to have presented its network solution to AT&T for several years, with AT&T acknowledging the technology met their goals, but declining a commercial partnership and allegedly infringing upon Lemko's patents. The patents asserted in this case include U.S. Patent Nos. 7,840,230; 7,979,066; 8,224,322; 8,310,990; 8,340,667; 8,359,029; and 9,198,020, which cover aspects of their Distributed Mobile Architecture and network management.
