Edgewater Wireless Brings Semiconductor Momentum to Ottawa Symposium

Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), a pioneer in AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™ silicon solutions, announced its participation in Canada’s Semiconductor Symposium 2026, held October 20-21 in Ottawa. The company enters the event with growing momentum, highlighted by a strategic investment from Silicon Catalyst Angels—its first investment in a publicly traded company—and an invitation to GlobalFoundries’ GFx Technology Summit, where Edgewater engaged with senior semiconductor executives and strategic partners. The company also participated in the RDK Global Summit, connecting with leading broadband operators and OEMs. These milestones are strengthening Edgewater’s industry visibility and access to resources needed to accelerate commercialization.

Edgewater is advancing its PrismIQ™ family of Wi-Fi 8-ready Spectrum Slicing™ semiconductor solutions, with development increasingly shaped by customer requirements. The patented multi-channel architecture delivers greater throughput, reduced latency, and more predictable wireless performance—critical for next-generation broadband, enterprise connectivity, and mission-critical communications. Beyond traditional Wi-Fi, Edgewater sees growing opportunities in dual-use applications such as autonomous systems, resilient wireless video links, and low-latency command-and-control communications. Customer-driven engineering is helping shape prototype capabilities, with the company focused on progressing qualified opportunities toward design-ins and commercial adoption. “What’s particularly exciting is how our technology is opening doors beyond conventional Wi-Fi,” said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO. “We’re seeing opportunities where reliable, high-performance wireless connectivity is a critical requirement, not simply a convenience.”

The company’s development program benefits from relationships with Arm, Synopsys, and Silicon Catalyst, alongside engagement with GlobalFoundries and Canada’s semiconductor ecosystem. Through CMC Microsystems and the FABrIC initiative, Edgewater secured approximately $921,000 in non-dilutive project support for its next-generation wireless baseband development, extending resources while limiting reliance on shareholder capital. Hosted by CMC Microsystems under the theme “Where Sovereignty Meets Prosperity,” the Symposium brings together technology leaders, policymakers, and investors focused on strengthening Canada’s semiconductor industry. Edgewater will use the event to advance industry relationships and highlight its progress toward bringing Canadian-developed wireless semiconductor technology to global markets.
