Thanks, Charlie. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today for our 2022 first quarter conference call. Our first quarter has been extremely busy on many fronts as we continue down the path that we spoke about during our recent Q4 update. We are continuing to build on the momentum from the recent launch of SafePath 7. This launch should commence the drive to enhance subscriber growth beginning in the late Q2 or early Q3. With the resumption of growth, we can return the company back to our historical model of delivering strong growth, earnings power, and cash generation. We are also working diligently to get the other two US Tier 1 carriers and our European customers onto the SafePath platform. This activity will enhance the family safety applications at the carriers with an expanded feature set while allowing us to realize cost synergies as we consolidate to a single family safety platform. This critical initiative will bring the power of our SafePath platform to not only the mobile family safety space, but opens an even larger market opportunity with the digital family lifestyle marketplace. Overall, I am pleased with where we are today as we are making great progress across the board with our carrier partners. Another interesting note that is very encouraging is that several of our carrier customers have begun to reopen their offices, a milestone that I truly hope continues as we work through how the pandemic has changed our lives and how we conduct business. We believe that increased access to our customers is a critical and necessary step towards building deeper relationships throughout the different groups within the carriers. Another exciting recent announcement that I'm delighted to discuss is the expansion of our board of directors. Last month, we added two highly qualified individuals, Asha Ketty and Chetan Sharma, both who are recognized strategic leaders in the mobile technology arena. Their combined knowledge, contacts, and business acumen are a tremendous addition to Smith Micro. and I'm looking forward to seeing the positive impact they're going to have on our company. Now let's turn the call over to Jim to discuss our first quarter 2022 results.
