An Ottawa tech firm has tapped the cable industry’s R&D arm to develop a new open-source platform with the potential to disrupt how we access Wi-Fi.

On Wednesday, Edgewater Wireless (TSX-V:YFI) and its partner CableLabs unveiled “dual channel” Wi-Fi, an open-source platform that expands the capabilities of wireless connectivity. While traditional Wi-Fi access points send and receive data through a single channel, the dual channel approach reserves a single lane for downloads – an innovation that Edgewater CEO Andrew Skafel believes could revolutionize Wi-Fi in the home.
