Silicon ready, Edgewater to commence North American packaging initiative
August 29, 2024 – Ottawa, Canada – Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), the industry leader in Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing technology for residential, enterprise and Industrial IoT markets, reaches a major silicon production milestone and commences shift to North American packaging facility.
“Over the last few months, our team has successfully completed numerous critical steps in our silicon production and commercialization efforts. We’ve strengthened our IP portfolio with several new patent applications. We’ve identified a new vertical market for our Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing solutions,” said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. “And, working with our strategic partners, we’ve achieved a major milestone and have created a capital-efficient path for packaging our Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing solutions in North America.”
Leveraging the broader Canadian silicon ecosystem, the Company has established a secure, on-shore supply line for its advanced Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing silicon solutions. Initial Canadian packaging efforts will focus on the Company’s advanced Wi-Fi RF Front Ends for use in residential, enterprise and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) applications globally. Commencing in September 2024, the packaging initiative represents a significant step in bringing engineering samples to market and puts the Company on track to deliver within the calendar year.
The major production milestone dovetails with the successful commercial pilot and recently announced Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with WCS Europe in the IIoT market. Establishing a new market vertical for Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing, WCS Europe is targeting the European enterprise access point market. Their commercial pilot demonstrates the broader market appeal for Edgewater’s Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing approach. Shipments are slated to commence in late 2024.
