Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), a pioneer in AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing silicon solutions, announced that President and CEO Andrew Skafel will speak at Microelectronics US in Austin, Texas, on April 23, 2026. The presentation, scheduled for 11:30 a.m. local time, will focus on how the company’s architecture enables deterministic, low-latency connectivity for drones, robotics, and other interference-sensitive applications in dense and contested RF environments.
Skafel’s remarks come as wireless performance is increasingly measured by reliability, predictability, and latency under real-world load rather than peak speed alone. Edgewater’s Spectrum Slicing technology allows multiple concurrent channels within a single band, delivering more usable capacity and lower latency without traditional trade-offs. The company believes this positions it for the emerging Wi-Fi 8 era and opens opportunities in UAV, defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure markets.
‘Wireless is no longer judged only by peak speed. In drones, autonomous systems and mission-critical networks, what matters is whether the link performs when interference, congestion and mobility are at their worst,’ said Skafel. ‘That is exactly where Spectrum Slicing changes the conversation. Our architecture was built to deliver deterministic performance, lower latency and improved resilience under real-world conditions.’
Edgewater has recently expanded its focus on dual-use and high-reliability wireless applications. A Memorandum of Understanding with AirMetal Robotics explores technical and commercial opportunities for interference-tolerant wireless solutions in advanced unmanned platforms. The company’s PrismIQ silicon and IP platform, which underpins its Wi-Fi 8-ready solutions, is designed for Ultra High Reliability across residential, enterprise, and Industrial IoT networks, as well as mission-critical applications.
Microelectronics US brings together engineers, innovators, and industry participants across semiconductor design, packaging, manufacturing, and embedded systems in Austin, a growing semiconductor hub. Edgewater aims to engage with semiconductor and systems participants seeking scalable approaches to next-generation connectivity, particularly where conventional wireless links fail.
The company’s patented AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing platform, delivered through the PrismIQ product family, redefines Wi-Fi by enabling multiple concurrent channels within a single band. With 26 granted patents and three AI-related patents pending, Edgewater operates a capital-efficient fabless semiconductor and IP licensing model. As a Silicon Catalyst portfolio company, it is building the intelligent wireless foundation for service provider networks, autonomous systems, and critical communications infrastructure.
