Edgewater Wireless to Spotlight AI-Powered Spectrum Slicing for Drone and Mission-Critical Connectivity at Microelectronics US

(TheNewswire)

CEO Andrew Skafel to highlight howdeterministic, low-latency wireless extends Edgewater’s Wi-Fi8-readyplatform into emerging UAV, autonomous and interference sensitiveapplications

April 21, 2026 – TheNewswire - Ottawa, Canada and Santa Clara, USA– Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc.(TSXV: YFI) (OTC:KPIFF), the industry pioneer of AI-powered Wi-FiSpectrum Slicing™ silicon solutions and IP, today announced thatAndrew Skafel, President and Chief Executive Officer, will be speakingat Microelectronics US in Austin, Texas, at 11:30 a.m. local timeon Thursday, April 23, 2026.

At a time when wireless performance is increasinglydefined by reliability, predictability and latency under real-worldload, Skafel’s presentation will focus on how Edgewater’sgroundbreaking AI-powered Spectrum Slicing™ architecture can beleveraged to enable deterministic, low-latency connectivity fordrones, robotics and other interference-sensitive applicationsoperating in dense, challenging and contested RF environments.

The presentation is expected to reinforce a coreEdgewater thesis: the market is moving beyond legacy single-channelwireless architectures toward a new era of ultra-high reliability,the same shift now shaping the industry’s path to Wi-Fi 8.Edgewater believes this opens an attractive adjacent opportunity toextend its PrismIQ™ silicon and IP platform into high-valueapplications where resilient communications are mission-critical andwhere near-term commercial pathways may include engineeringengagements, NRE programs, reference designs, module opportunities andstrategic IP relationships.

“Wireless is no longer judged only by peak speed. Indrones, autonomous systems and mission-critical networks, what mattersis whether the link performs when interference, congestion andmobility are at their worst,” said Andrew Skafel, President and CEOof Edgewater Wireless. “That is exactly where Spectrum Slicing™changes the conversation. Our architecture was built to deliverdeterministic performance, lower latency and improved resilience underreal-world conditions. We believe these same capabilities thatposition Edgewater for the Wi-Fi 8 era also create a compelling andaccretive path into emerging UAV, dual-use and other high-reliabilitymarkets.”

Edgewater has recently expanded its public focuson dual-use and high-reliability wireless applications, includingUAV, drone, robotics, defence, public safety and criticalinfrastructure markets. The Company’s recent Memorandum ofUnderstanding with AirMetal Robotics further supports thisdirection, creating a framework to explore technical and commercialopportunities for next-generation, interference-tolerant wirelesssolutions in advanced unmanned and mission-critical platforms.

By bringing this message to Microelectronics US,Edgewater intends to further elevate its position with semiconductor,systems and strategic ecosystem participants seeking practical,scalable approaches to next-generation connectivity—particularlywhere conventional wireless links begin to break down.

Microelectronics US is expected to bring togetherleading engineers, innovators and industry participants acrosssemiconductor design, packaging, manufacturing and embedded systems inAustin, one of North America’s fastest-growing semiconductor hubs. For more information, visit here:  https://www.microelectronicsus.com
