OTTAWA, Ontario, April 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), the industry leader in Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing technology for residential and enterprise markets, is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming CHIPS North Executive Summit, taking place April 29–30 in Ottawa. Hosted by Canada’s Semiconductor Council, this premier event brings together top executives, policymakers, and innovators to advance Canada's role in the global semiconductor value chain.
Edgewater’s highly differentiated Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing technology is the first to deliver multiple, in-band concurrent links within the same coverage area while remaining fully Wi-Fi standards-compliant. By harnessing advanced signal processing, Spectrum Slicing slashes latency by 50% or more and drives performance gains of 7 to 18 times over traditional single-channel Wi-Fi — all without needing new end devices.
With Edgewater’s industry-leading approach, Service Providers and vendors can unlock the benefits of next-gen Wi-Fi 7 without the massive cost of replacing existing Wi-Fi 4/5/6 devices. That means over 20 billion devices — from smart TVs to smartphones and gaming consoles — can enjoy Spectrum Slicing’s performance boost while the newest devices tap into the full power of Wi-Fi 7.
"We are excited to engage with industry leaders at CHIPS North to discuss how our innovations can contribute to Canada's semiconductor growth," said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. "Our recent inclusion in the Silicon Catalyst incubator and the Alliance of Semiconductor Innovation Canada (ASIC) underscores our commitment to advancing the domestic semiconductor ecosystem."
Edgewater Wireless is also pleased to note that Tarun Verma, Managing Partner at Silicon Catalyst, a key backer of Edgewater Wireless, will be among the distinguished speakers at the summit. With over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, Mr. Verma has been instrumental in supporting startups through Silicon Catalyst's unique incubator model.
Edgewater Wireless invites attendees and investors to connect during the summit to explore potential collaborations and investment opportunities.
