OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), the industry pioneer in Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing technology, is pleased to announce it is initiating prototyping of its next-generation Wi-Fi baseband chip powered by Arm® compute platforms, marking a significant milestone in the Company's journey to deliver intelligent, AI-enhanced Wi-Fi solutions at the network edge.
Edgewater Wireless Launches Prototyping of AI Subsystem Powered by Arm® Technology. Bringing machine learning to the Wi-Fi edge, Edgewater Wireless is accelerating the development of intelligent connectivity solutions for high-density environments.
This development follows Edgewater's recent entry into the Arm® Flexible Access Program, which grants early and cost-effective access to a broad portfolio of Arm IP, tools, and support. As part of its next-generation Wi-Fi baseband chip design, Edgewater will prototype with Arm Cortex® CPUs and Arm Ethos™ NPUs to commercialize its AI-driven Spectrum Slicing platform.
'AI-driven spectrum engineering, at the edge, is the future of wireless—and we're building it now,' said Eric Smith, VP Product for Edgewater Wireless. 'Prototyping within Arm's proven ecosystem brings scalable, energy-efficient intelligence directly into the Wi-Fi chipset, bringing machine learning to the network edge. The Arm Cortex and Ethos suite of processors will allow us to develop a new category of Wi-Fi connectivity solutions that unlock throughput, reliability, and efficiency for high-density residential, enterprise, and industrial networks.'
Developing on the Arm compute platform will enable Edgewater to prototype patent-pending AI and machine learning algorithms for real-time traffic management, predictive congestion avoidance, and autonomous interference mitigation —features critical to the performance of Wi-Fi networks in multi-device, interference-prone environments, such as the home or in businesses. Edgewater recently submitted several patent applications to the USPTO and holds trade secrets that contain the algorithms the Company is prototyping. Combined with Edgewater's patented Spectrum Slicing architecture, this intelligence is poised to redefine the wireless experience for users and service providers alike.
'As AI at the edge accelerates, the industry faces mounting pressure to shorten development cycles and deliver next-generation solutions faster,' said Neil Parris, director of partner success and business models at Arm. 'Edgewater Wireless is a compelling example of how Arm Flexible Access enables innovative semiconductor startups to navigate early-stage design decisions with greater confidence and agility. Using our broad portfolio of AI compute technologies enables smarter connectivity at the edge.'
The prototyping phase of the Wi-Fi baseband is part of Edgewater's broader next-generation silicon development initiative, which recently received backing through the Government of Canada's FABrIC initiative, a five-year $223M program to accelerate the commercialization of semiconductor-based processes and products managed by CMC Microsystems. Together, Arm's industry-leading technology and FABrIC's strategic support are enabling Edgewater to de-risk product development and position Canada as a global player in intelligent connectivity and semiconductor innovation.
'This milestone underscores the power of strategic collaboration and access to world-class technology,' added Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. 'From FABrIC's foundational funding to Arm's ecosystem leadership, we're building the future of Wi-Fi—right here in Canada.'
