  • Sending notifications to mobile devices over paging networks
    Patent number: 11751163
    Abstract: A method for confirming receipt of a redundant notification by a wireless device includes transmitting redundant notifications to the wireless device via different types of networks (e.g., a paging network). A notification is configured to cause the mobile device to wake-up a mobile application that opens a real-time communications session between the mobile device and the server and generates an indication that the mobile device received at least one of the redundant notifications.
