World’s First Radio Card That Triples WiFi Capacity With More Concurrent Channels For High Density Wireless Networks and IOT Solutions Providers
July 28, 2016 – Ottawa, Canada & San Jose, California – Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (YFI; TSX.V), the manufacturer of high-density WiFi3™ – next generation, multi-channel WiFi technology, is pleased to announce today general availability of the company’s 5GHz wideband multi-channel WLAN card utilizing the EWSI 3000 chip set for true high-density, high-capacity WiFi service delivery.
Edgewater Wireless WiFi3™ technology already boasts the highest channel density. OEMs and innovators of all sizes can now integrate multi-channel technology in 2.4 and 5GHz, now available with our WiFi3™ Development Kit – exclusive to Edgewater Wireless. This latest innovation from Edgewater Wireless leverages WiFi3™ technology and the strength of the company’s 20+ patents to provide the key building blocks to create the highest channel capacity available in the world today in 2.4 and 5.8GHz WiFi.
“As data demand increases with the explosive growth of users and devices, WiFi networks are getting crushed by interference and its’ users who are bearing the brunt of poor network performance. If you’re a commercial business like a hotel or public venue, a poor WiFi network, not equipped to handle customer data demand, has a bottom line impact – your customers choose to go elsewhere.” said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO at Edgewater Wireless “Edgewater Wireless is the first and only company to deliver multiple, concurrent channels in 2.4GHz or in 5GHz, in the same WiFi coverage area, and from a single radio. This is unparalleled channel density addressing the biggest challenges facing WiFi today and something our customers and the industry have been demanding.”
The Edgewater Wireless EWSI-WIFI3-58 is a wide-band, multi-channel, WLAN Card utilizing the Edgewater Wireless patented approach to delivering standards based Wi-Fi. The EWSI-WIFI3-58 radio card and software driver enables an OEM to construct very high capacity access points, which allow simultaneous communications on multiple channels from a single radio. Features include:
- Software configurable, simultaneous operation of 3 x 5.8Ghz WiFi channels in any combination.
- The EWSI-WIFI3-58’s Wideband Monitoring Module enables an access point to take real-time full spectral snap- shots of the WLAN RF environment on a microsecond basis and pass this data up to higher software layers to support robust SDN environments – while simultaneously passing traffic… no interruptions
- Demanding traffic types such as Voice over Wireless Internet Protocol (VoWIP) can be intelligently assigned to dedicated channels to ensure a primary level of service
- The EWSI-WIFI3-58 includes a flexible three channel MAC implementation, which allows granular programmability of all relevant MAC attributes.
Edgewater’s WiFi3™ powered technology is the best Wi-Fi solution for carriers, service providers and systems integrators to address the growing problems of interference, capacity and critical mass of users which is stretching WiFi and IOT networks to their breaking point. Edgewater’s patented technology solves the high-density problem while also significantly reducing the equipment investment and operating costs for new network deployments.
