Patent Allowance for WiFi3 Gain Variation Tracking Technology Maximizes Bandwidth in High Interference Environments

April 5, 2016 – Ottawa, Canada & San Jose, USA- Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (YFI; TSX.V), the manufacturer of high-density WiFi3™ technology, is pleased to announce today the company’s latest WiFi technology innovation – WiFi3™ Gain Variation Tracking Technology (GVT). WiFi3™ GVT technology boosts throughput delivering more data to tablets, handsets, laptops and other WiFi enabled devices. This latest innovation will be shipping on Edgewater Wireless Access Point Products as early as May 2016.

The company has officially received Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Method and Apparatus to Track Gain Variation in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Systems.

The demand for data has never been greater and WiFi is the preferred connection for accessing data-intensive applications like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Today, the average person carries 2.9 WiFi-enabled devices – smart phones, tablets, watches and laptops – more people with more devices is driving exponential demand for data.

Edgewater’s multi-channel WiFi3™ AP architecture provides the highest possible wireless performance in high-density environments such as stadiums, casinos shopping centers and campuses. Edgewater Wireless’ new Gain Variation Tracking technology allows for maximum performance in high interference laden environments ensuring when new users connect with their wireless device to a WiFi Access Point that the device is automatically optimized for the highest possible Quality of Service and Performance.

“Where virtually every other company manufacturing WiFi access points relies on the same reference design from the major chipmakers, we’re doing something truly innovative in WiFi hardware. We’re focused on WiFi innovation by advancing and developing new hardware technology and applications.” said Andrew Skafel, CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “Gain Variation Tracking simply put, will deliver more throughput and is another world-first innovation in WiFi from Edgewater Wireless. We’re looking to the current and future demand for data and solving tomorrow’s problems today with innovation designed to improve throughput and improve the user experience over WiFi. We’re getting inquiries almost daily from companies globally that have deployed WiFi networks and getting crushed by RF interference and overwhelming data demand.”

In addition to the Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Method and Apparatus to Track Gain Variation in OFDM Systems, Edgewater Wireless is also filing for a Continuation of the Granted Patent to pursue protection on additional aspects of the technology. Edgewater is excited to be able to offer licensing options for technology partners who want to harness the power of multi-channel WiFi3™ technology to better manage the wireless data demand.

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 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.
