Edgewater Wi-fi (Edgewater Wi-fi Inventory Quote, Chart, Information, Analysts, Financials TSXV:YFI) CEO Andrew Skafel says the decades-old structure underpinning Wi-Fi is “breaking down beneath its personal success,” and argues the Ottawa firm’s patented multi-lane expertise is rising at precisely the correct second to repair it.
Skafel instructed Ticker Take host Jon Erlichman on the 2025 Cantech Funding Convention that world service suppliers are more and more participating with Edgewater’s Spectrum Slicing platform as system congestion turns into a top-tier trade problem.
Spectrum Slicing is a patented multi-channel structure designed to enhance Wi-Fi efficiency in crowded environments. As a substitute of counting on the normal single-channel method utilized in most legacy programs, the corporate’s chips and IP allow a number of channels to function on a single radio, concentrating on each residential and enterprise deployments.
Requested to stipulate the corporate’s mission, Skafel stated, “At Edgewater Wi-fi, we make Wi-Fi higher. We’re a fabless semiconductor and IP licensing firm, dramatically reworking Wi-Fi.”

He stated that the bottleneck in standard Wi-Fi grows extra acute as system counts improve.
“All legacy Wi-Fi has been based mostly on what’s referred to as a single channel structure… it really works nice when you’ve got one car, however in the event you begin placing increasingly more site visitors on that single lane, it will get congested and breaks down,” he stated.
With billions of linked gadgets now competing for bandwidth, Edgewater’s multi-lane method is geared toward distributing that site visitors extra effectively.
Skafel stated the latest trade response has been encouraging.
“We’ve not too long ago secured the backing of a Silicon Valley group referred to as Silicon Catalyst. They’re now considered one of our largest stakeholders, and that’s actually been reworking what we’re doing from a enterprise perspective. Now, from a buyer perspective, we’ve captured the eye of a number of the largest service suppliers on the planet, people like Liberty International and a variety of the cable operators.”
He stated the corporate is concentrated on three core segments for its semiconductor expertise: residential Wi-Fi, enterprise environments reminiscent of conference centres and industrial IoT purposes, and markets exterior North America.
“It is a world alternative. It’s not geographically restricted. Wi-Fi is all over the place.”
What excites him most, he stated, is the efficiency potential the expertise is starting to point out in real-world testing. “We’ve demonstrated you’ll be able to see anyplace from 7 to 18 instances efficiency beneficial properties within the house… and 50% decrease latency than legacy single channel Wi-Fi.”
Skafel stated the corporate is now centered on turning these technical beneficial properties into industrial wins because it strikes deeper into large-scale deployments with main service suppliers.
