Edgewater Wireless Joins CHIPS North Executive Summit to Share Advances in Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing
Article content OTTAWA, Ontario — 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. Article content Article content 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. Article content 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. Article content '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.' Article content 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.

Better. For everyone, everywhere. Article content Edgewater Wireless ( is the industry leader in innovative Spectrum Slicing technology, transforming Wi-Fi performance for residential and enterprise markets. Our advanced Wi-Fi silicon solutions, Access Points, and IP licensing deliver unparalleled economic value by enhancing network efficiency, reducing congestion, and improving quality of service for service providers and their customers. With 26 granted patents, Edgewater's Multi-Channel, Spectrum Slicing technology is redefining the economics of Wi-Fi, enabling service providers to maximize their infrastructure investments while delivering next-generation performance today. Article content Edgewater's physical layer Spectrum Slicing allows a frequency band to be divided or sliced, enabling more radios to operate efficiently within the same spectrum. Think of Spectrum Slicing like upgrading from a single-lane road to a multi-lane highway—dramatically increasing capacity and throughput, regardless of Wi-Fi technology. A recently completed Proof of Concept (PoC) with a major Tier 1 Service Provider demonstrated 7 to 18 times performance gains in 75% of homes surveyed, with the most significant improvements seen in homes with the highest device density. By optimizing spectrum usage, Spectrum Slicing enhances user experience and drives down operational costs, unlocking new revenue opportunities for service providers in residential and enterprise deployments.

A statement from the State Premier's Office said the visit to the innovation centre on Tuesday (April 29) will see the Sarawak Government, through SMD Semiconductor Sdn Bhd, exchange partnership agreement documents with CSA Catapult, Silicon Catalyst and 5G3i Ltd of the UK. 'CSA Catapult is the UK's authority on compound semiconductor applications and commercialisation, while Silicon Catalyst is a key semiconductor incubator, and 5G3i Ltd is a leading circuit-level artificial intelligence solutions provider in the UK,' it said. SMD Semiconductor chairman Datuk Seri Wanlizozman Haji Wan Omar, who is also Sarawak's Financial Secretary, will present a briefing on the Sarawak Semiconductor Roadmap 2030 to the UK semiconductor industry players during the visit. 'The visit to the facility will be capped off with a networking luncheon with representatives from the English, Scottish and Northern Irish governments to strengthen the relationship, particularly in the advancement of compound semiconductors,' it said. The statement added that Abang Johari's delegation would visit the Cambridge University Press and Assessment, a non-school institution of the University of Cambridge, on April 30, before attending a roundtable discussion with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) on May 1. There will also be a memorandum of understanding exchange ceremony between LSE and the Sarawak Government at the end of the discussion. Later, on the same day, he will meet officials from the International Hydropower Association and Global Renewable Alliances to enhance collaboration between the world body and Sarawak, a prominent hydropower provider in ASEAN. Abang Johari will also deliver a keynote address at a gathering of UK industry players and captains of industry on May 2 to promote collaboration and investment in sustainable and renewable industries in Sarawak. He is scheduled to meet Sarawak students in the UK at a gathering on May 3, where he will speak on the various development initiatives in Sarawak and answer questions from the students. The following day, the delegates will fly to Toulouse, France for a working tour of the Airbus headquarters before proceeding to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates for a meeting with the Abu Dhabi port authority and a tour of the port and the Zayed International Airport.
