leader in WiFi3™ next generation WiFi technology, today announced the company has partnered

single radio and provides improved WiFi services and QoS to end users by delivering up to 50
times greater performance versus traditional WiFi. WiFi3 achieves unparalleled performance by
mitigating issues such as Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI) and offering industry leading
capabilities such as integrated Spectral Surveillance Architecture (SSA™) – Edgewater’s
integrated, real time spectral monitoring feature which dramatically reduces operational
expenses (OPEX) for service providers.
