Edgewater Wireless Secures Strategic Investment from Silicon Catalyst Angels

Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), a pioneer in AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™ silicon solutions, has secured a strategic investment from Silicon Catalyst Angels I, LLC (SCA) in its recent private placement. This investment marks a significant endorsement of Edgewater's innovative technology, with SCA joining as the second strategically aligned semiconductor investor. Edgewater's Chairman, Brian Imrie, also increased his investment, demonstrating strong insider confidence. The funding will accelerate the development of Edgewater's Spectrum Slicing™ and PrismIQ™ platforms as they move toward prototype validation and commercial engagements.

The investment builds on Edgewater's existing relationship with Silicon Catalyst, which began when Edgewater was selected as a Silicon Catalyst Portfolio Company in November 2024. Since then, Edgewater has benefited from access to over 500 industry experts, millions of dollars in in-kind design and fabrication resources, and the addition of Silicon Catalyst COO Nick Kepler as a Board Observer. SCA's participation brings not only capital but also deep semiconductor expertise and strategic relationships, further strengthening Edgewater's position as it advances its technology. The company's Spectrum Slicing™ technology aims to deliver a 10x improvement in Wi-Fi performance and up to 50% lower latency, even for legacy devices, by enabling multiple concurrent channels in a single band. This is particularly timely as the industry moves toward Wi-Fi 7 and beyond, where congestion in wide channels is a growing challenge.

Edgewater expects to achieve important engineering and ecosystem milestones in the coming period, with an initial product release targeted for the first half of 2027. The private placement details reveal that the second tranche comprised 4,799,666 units at $0.06 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $287,979.96. Combined with the first tranche, the company has raised a total of $717,332.70. The funds will be used for semiconductor design, engineering, and product development related to the Spectrum Slicing™ prototype, as well as general working capital. This strategic investment not only validates Edgewater's technology but also positions the company for success in the competitive Wi-Fi market, promising to redefine connectivity standards.
