FLINT targeting High-Density Wi-Fi applications
September 19, 2014 – Ottawa, Canada – Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc., (YFI;TSX.V), the
global leader in WiFi3 next-generation WiFi technology, announced a partnership with FLINT
Professional Services, a UK-based provider of infrastructure and professional services to the
mobile industry, to address growing market demand for high-density Wi-Fi in the UK market.
The increasing density of smartphone and tablet users throughout the United Kingdom has
strained traditional Wi-Fi networks and has left carriers struggling to fulfill the demands.
Together with FLINT, Edgewater Wireless is responding to the demand, directly addressing the
needs of high-density applications.
“We’ve watched service providers and large enterprises grapple with the rapid growth of data
hungry smart devices.”, said Neil Burbidge, Managing Director of FLINT Professional Services.
“Bringing Edgewater’s WiFi3 solutions to the UK market, gives us a solution matched to the
needs to the high growth UK market.”
Starting from engineering first principles and building a true high-performance chipset
specifically geared toward the high-density carrier market, Edgewater Wireless and WiFi3,
represent a dramatic shift in Wi-Fi, offering the only carrier focused multi-channel Wi-Fi solution
directly addressing the needs of high-density applications.
Edgewater Wireless WiFi3 series of Next Generation Wi-Fi Access Points enables 3-channels on a
single radio and provides improved Wi-Fi services and QoS to end users by delivering up to 50
times greater performance vs traditional Wi-Fi. WiFi3 achieves unparalleled performance by
mitigating issues such as Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI) and offering industry leading
capabilities such as the integrated Spectral Surveillance Architecture (SSA™) – Edgewater’s
integrated, real time spectral monitoring feature which dramatically reduces operational
expenses (OPEX) for service providers and large enterprises.
“The UK, and European, markets for high-density Wi-Fi are considerable and we’re seeing a
growing demand for WiFi3 in the region,” said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater
Wireless. “Our partnership with FLINT comes at an exciting time, they are highly skilled and are
providing the foundation for growth. We’ve quickly established a foothold in the European
market and FLINT has acquired product for current projects.”
