Successful Digital City Trial in Brazil Leads to Volume Production Order
January 18, 2012 – Ottawa, Canada & Sao Paulo, Brazil – Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. formerly known as KIK Polymers Inc and currently trading as KPI.V on the TSXV, and Red Network, a leading distributor of networking solutions in Brazil, have entered into a distribution supply agreement following a successful trial in Brazil.
The Edgewater Wireless EAP3000 Access Points demonstrated superior performance in an outdoor trial where a single unit was able to transfer high-speed, high-definition (HD) video from an HD WiFi camera while simultaneously supporting multiple data transfers and voice over IP (VOIP) phone calls. The trial was deemed extremely successful as there was no observable degradation in the quality of the video, data or the VOIP calls while operating concurrently across a single EAP3000 wideband, multi-channel access point (AP).
“We are very impressed with the multi-channel radio capability of the EAP3000,” said Leone Picciotto, Commercial Director for Red Network. “The Edgewater Wireless products are truly able to accommodate a variety of media types while maintaining both high-performance and high-quality. For Red Network, this means we can deploy multiple services with fewer units while ensuring high customer satisfaction which is the key to success in the Digital City space.”
As part of the distribution agreement, Red Network will begin deploying EAP3000 units into a number of identified opportunities beginning in the first quarter of 2012.
“Red Network is an outstanding partner for Edgewater Wireless,” said to Andrew Skafel, President of Edgewater Wireless Systems, Inc. “They bring tremendous customer-reach and have identified solid revenue opportunities for the EAP3000 products. Further, we are pleased by Red Network’s substantial purchase commitment for EAP3000 products and are looking forward to working with them to expand their business in Brazil.”
