Edgewater Wireless Bolsters Patent Portfolio with Latest Innovations
Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (OTC: KPIFF) announces a new patent application to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office titled “Method and Apparatus for In-band Multi-channel Determination and Utilization.” This innovation strengthens the company's leadership in multi-link Wi-Fi technology, particularly in the rapidly advancing WiFi7 standard.
The patent aims to enhance Wi-Fi performance by reducing latency and increasing throughput. With 26 granted patents, Edgewater's Spectrum Slicing technology allows multiple channels to operate simultaneously, addressing congestion and interference challenges in residential and enterprise markets.
According to CEO Andrew Skafel, this development reflects the company’s commitment to innovation, which is vital for unlocking shareholder value in a market with over 20 billion Wi-Fi devices.
- Submission of a new patent application strengthens Edgewater's position in multi-link Wi-Fi and Spectrum Slicing technology.
- The patent application promises enhanced Wi-Fi performance and reduced latency, appealing to both residential and enterprise markets.
- Edgewater holds 26 granted patents, providing a robust technological advantage.
- CEO emphasizes the link between innovation and shareholder value, indicating potential for future growth.
- Potential risks associated with market competition and regulatory conditions as highlighted in the forward-looking statements.
The addition of application-level innovations to Edgewater’s patent portfolio, effectively ‘ring-fences’ its leadership in multi-link Wi-Fi, not only within WiFi7 but into the future
“This new patent application is the culmination of many years of customer-driven, extensive real-world research and development, which has given us enormous insights into the challenges faced by Wi-Fi networks,” said
WiFi7, or the latest iteration of the global Wi-Fi standard, promises lower latency and higher throughputs. More importantly, it is the first Wi-Fi standard to embrace multi-channel/link architecture with its marquee feature, Multi-Link Operation (MLO). A strong endorsement of the power of multi-channel/link architecture, MLO enables simultaneous access across multiple bands — building on innovations like Dual Channel Wi-Fi™, our co-innovation with CableLabs. The basic principle is simple; using more channels can reduce latency and improve performance.
Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing enables more in-band channels than all legacy Wi-Fi architectures up to and including WiFi7. Backed by 26 granted patents, Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing creates a robust, future-proof platform for features like MLO, Dual-Channel Wi-Fi which require more physical capacity than legacy single-channel Wi-Fi offers.
“The new patent application highlights our core belief in customer-focused innovation as the path to unlocking shareholder value,” said

About
We make Wi-Fi. Better.
Edgewater’s physical layer Spectrum Slicing allows a frequency band to be divided, or sliced, to enable more radios to operate in a given area. Think of Spectrum Slicing like moving from a single-lane road to a multi-lane highway — regardless of Wi-Fi technology. The recently completed Proof of Concept (PoC) with a major Tier 1 Service Provider showed 7 to 18 times performance gains in
