New York — December 18, 2025 — Leads & Copy — DarkPulse, Inc. (OTCQB: DPLS), a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York, has executed a Patent and Trademark License Agreement with UMBRA Technologies Ltd. (BVI) and UMBRA Technologies (US) Inc.
The agreement grants DarkPulse a nonexclusive, royalty-bearing license under UMBRA’s U.S. patent portfolio. This license covers applications involving monitoring critical infrastructure and key resources using DarkPulse’s Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA) distributed fiber-optic sensor deployments.
The license extends on a non-exclusive basis to UMBRA’s broader patent rights, know-how, and trademarks within defined fields, limited to the United States. It also creates an opportunity for exclusivity “carve-outs” of the UMBRA IP through additional royalty payments linked to future deployment verticals.
UMBRA Technologies, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, specializes in AI-enhanced secure network optimization and next-generation software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN). Their Global Virtual Network (GVN) platform uses the patented Slingshot™ multi-threaded slinghop routing system and UMBRA® adaptive data-obfuscation engine.
The GVN platform enables secure, ultra-low-latency transmission of large data volumes over public internet, 5G, satellite, or hybrid paths, exceeding traditional MPLS and SD-WAN solutions.
Key UMBRA U.S. patents underpinning the licensed technology include:
U.S. Patent No. 10,630,505 (multi-perimeter firewall and cloud security)
U.S. Patent No. 10,922,286 and related Slingshot omnibus family (network slinghop via tapestry routing and remote direct memory access)
Multiple recently issued patents in the GVN family (2024–2025), covering AI-driven obfuscation, smart routing, and secure virtual networking
These innovations allow Slingshot® to pre-position and reconstruct data fragments across global edge nodes, achieving sub-second retrieval and wire-speed performance under congested or degraded network conditions. This is ideal for moving the continuous data streams generated by DarkPulse’s high-resolution (20 mm spatial resolution) BOTDA sensors.
By integrating UMBRA’s secure, high-throughput networking with DarkPulse’s patented dark-pulse Brillouin sensing systems, the combined solution delivers real-time, encrypted transmission of structural health, strain, temperature, and security data from pipelines, railways, national borders, bridges, dams, and smart-city assets to DarkPulse’s AI-enhanced user interface, accessible from any device worldwide.
This end-to-end platform eliminates the cost and rigidity of dedicated private circuits while providing military-grade data protection and latency performance previously unattainable at scale.
DarkPulse Chairman and CEO Dennis O’Leary said UMBRA’s Slingshot® and GVN technologies represent the gold standard in secure, high-volume data transport. He added that pairing these capabilities with DarkPulse’s fiber-optic sensing technologies creates a transformative solution for critical infrastructure owners who require instantaneous, globally accessible insight without compromising security or reliability.
DarkPulse, Inc. (OTCQB: DPLS) develops and commercializes patented dark-pulse Brillouin scattering fiber-optic sensors for structural health monitoring and perimeter security across energy, transportation, and smart infrastructure markets.
UMBRA Technologies is an AI-powered secure network optimization and next-generation SD-WAN solutions provider. Its Global Virtual Network platform, incorporating Slingshot® GEODESTINATION® and UMBRA® technologies, sets the benchmark for low-latency, high-security transmission of big data and mission-critical applications worldwide.
