Wynd Communications Inc

Wynd Communications Inc. is a company based in San Luis Obispo, California, with a team of 20 to 49 employees. Founded in 1994, Wynd initially developed a pioneering wireless, mobile email service called WyndMail, catering to individuals on the move. WyndMail leveraged nationwide narrowband packet data networks and forged partnerships with prominent technology companies such as Apple, Hewlett Packard, and US Robotics. Recognizing the need for accessible communication solutions, Wynd expanded its technology in 1997 to serve deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Their wireless TTY call service over packet data networks was a groundbreaking innovation, embraced by the deaf community as a highly valuable and life-changing tool. The company subsequently shifted its focus entirely to providing communications services exclusively for this demographic, partnering with organizations like the American Automobile Association (AAA) to offer emergency roadside support. Wynd's commitment to accessibility earned them prestigious recognition, including the White House's commendation for innovation for people with disabilities and the California Governor's Technology Award for accessible communications. By 2000, Wynd had established itself as a leader in the field and was acquired by GoAmerica, Inc., a provider of wireless internet and data services, which later became Purple Communications, Inc.
