Edgewater Wireless launches revolutionary residential Wi-Fi
application in collaboration with CableLabs
Targets
latency sensitive video and gaming applications in the
$12.9B
residential Wi-Fi
market[1]
Ottawa, Canada
& Atlanta, USA -- May 22, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Edgewater Wireless Systems
Inc. (YFI; TSX.V)(OTCQB; KPIFF), the industry
leader in innovative Wi-Fi Multi-Channel Single Radio
(MCSRtm)
technology,
in
joint
development with
CableLabs®, a non-profit innovation and
R&D lab founded by members of the cable television
industry, today announced the availability of
Dual Channel
Wi-Fi™ in public open
source.
Developed
jointly by
CableLabs
and Edgewater Wireless Systems,
code to support Dual Channel
Wi-Fi™ has been released into
the
OpenWrt repository
and is
available here.
A revolutionary
approach to alleviating jittery video and laggy gaming
experiences, Dual Channel
Wi-Fi enables one
or more downlink-only data channels in addition to a standard
bi-directional channel. Compatible with all Wi-Fi
releases,
including Edgewater's MCSR™, Dual Channel
Wi-Fi
unlocks unused
spectrum to dramatically reduce contention and latency while increasing airtime utilization.
Developed for various Access Points and client platforms, including
set-top boxes, TVs and soon, gaming platforms and iPads,
Dual
Channel Wi-Fi can be implemented
wherever traditional single-channel Wi-Fi struggles with contention
– in residential and enterprise applications globally.
"Dual Channel
Wi-Fi
brilliantly
addresses latency and utilizes Wi-Fi spectrum as never
before. Implementing Dual Channel
Wi-Fi using
Spectrum Slicing on our patented Multi-Channel Single Radio
(MCSR™), Edgewater Wireless can unlock under-used spectrum with
concurrent in-band multi-channel," said Eric Smith, VP Product of
Edgewater Wireless. "When you can slice up the
spectrum, as Edgewater Wireless does, your flexibility in
deploying techniques like Dual Channel
Wi-Fi are vast
and very powerful in all Wi-Fi verticals,
including the residential
market."
"Dual Channel is the start of
a new revolution
in the
industry, and puts us at the forefront
of this game changing innovation" said Andrew Skafel,
President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. "As a great follow-up to our
participation in the CableLabs/UpRamp Fiterator,
we're
excited to be part of this major development by the globally
respected industry innovation engine, CableLabs. Applications
like Dual
Channel Wi-Fi open up opportunities
for
OEM/ODM and licensing
with major global
players for Edgewater and represent a
major step forward."
