The newest patent, a second in a series of patent applications, introduces an artificially intelligent algorithmic capability to support Edgewater Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing solution

May 28, 2024 – Ottawa, Canada – Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), the industry leader in Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing technology for residential and enterprise markets, proudly announces the submission of the second patent application within the invention titled “Method and Apparatus for In-Band Multi-Channel Determination and Utilization.”

“This patent application, the second in a series of applications, underscores Edgewater’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the ever-evolving realm of Wi-Fi technology,” stated Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. “With over 26 granted patents and counting, our Spectrum Slicing expertise is now augmented by a new era of application-layer intelligence, poised to redefine the $39.4 billion global Wi-Fi market[1].”

This application has been filed as US Patent Application No. 18/643,386 and International Application No.  PCT/CA2024/050533. The US and international patent applications are based on US Provisional Application No. 63/461,709 filed in April of 2023.  This second patent application in a series, describes the part of the overall invention that uses an algorithm stack to ingest available information about the health of the available Wi-Fi channels within the channelized spectral environment created with the methods described in the first patent application.  The algorithm then determines which channels within the Spectrum Slicing-enabled radio array can be utilized for traffic or should be disengaged.  The algorithmic stack detailed in this patent application describes an artificially intelligent component within the greater invention.

As the industry experiences a rapid transition to WiFi7, characterized by Multi-Link Operation (MLO), the significance of Spectrum Slicing has never been more pronounced. The new patent application marks a pivotal moment in Edgewater Wireless’ journey, fortifying its intellectual property portfolio and reaffirming its position as an industry leader.
