OTTAWA, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), the industry leader in Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing technology for residential and enterprise markets, is pleased to announce the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) has granted U.S. patent number 11,356,308; entitled “Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for Multichannel / Wideband Communications System”, marking the successful completion of the rigorous USPTO patent process and securing a key technological component of Spectrum Slicing.

With over 25 USPTO granted patents, Edgewater continues to show its ongoing commitment to protecting its innovations and positioning the Company for future growth. This strategy, to innovate on both the hardware-device and implementation side, spans across Spectrum Slicing to support the increasing value of Edgewater's intellectual property (IP) assets as the Company delivers its Spectrum Slicing next-generation Wi-Fi - today.

“As we begin to look at our patent portfolio as an additional source of revenue for the company, this new patent adds value to the company and our shareholders,” said Eric Smith, VP of Product of Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. “This award energizes our current efforts to productize and package our technology for OEMs.”

USPTO 11,356,308: Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for Multichannel / Wideband Communications System

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) system for multi-channel signals attenuates an incoming multi-channel signal by providing a gain. The system further adjusts each individual channel, of the multi-channel signal, by supplying a second gain if needed. The AGC system is designed to ensure a received signal power is at an optimal level for analog to digital conversion or any other form of signal processing. The system also enables the elimination of mid-packet gain adjustments.

Edgewater’s Spectrum Slicing is a highly advanced signal processing technique that enables multiple radio (Wi-Fi) channels, or links, to operate within the same Wi-FI band in the same coverage area. Spectrum Slicing dramatically reduces co-channel (CCI) and adjacent channel (ACI) interference.

This additional patent award further deepens our leadership in Multi-Link Operation (MLO), arguably the most significant feature in the WiFi7 specification. Edgewater’s Spectrum Slicing is the only technology that force multiplies the available channels, or links, within a single Wi-Fi band, effectively allowing for the highest link density in the industry— improving latency by 50% and increasing aggregate Wi-Fi throughput 7- 18x in real-world Wi-Fi environments.
