Edgewater Wireless Expands Spectrum Slicing™ to Dual-Use Applications

Ottawa, Canada and Santa Clara, USA — March 5, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF) has launched an initiative to extend its Spectrum Slicing™ technology into dual-use connectivity applications, targeting environments demanding predictable latency, resilience, and deterministic performance.

The company aims to address the growing need for reliable wireless solutions in sectors such as drones, robotics, mobile command-and-control, and critical infrastructure.

Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless, emphasized the importance of reliable network performance under challenging conditions. He stated that Spectrum Slicing™ is designed for real-world scenarios where congestion and interference are prevalent.

Industry forecasts suggest strong growth in the dual-use market. Analysts project the overall UAV market will reach approximately $40.6 billion by 2030, up from $26.1 billion in 2025. The drone communications segment is expected to grow from around $2.46 billion in 2024 to $3.67 billion in 2029. Mission-critical communications are also projected to reach $34.1 billion by 2030, reflecting the increasing demand for resilient, real-time connectivity.

Edgewater Wireless views this initiative as accretive, expanding the commercial applications for Spectrum Slicing™ and PrismIQ™ while leveraging its existing technology roadmap.

The Spectrum Slicing™ platform enables intelligent spectrum allocation and concurrent channel utilization, aligning with the industry's move towards ultra-high reliability on the path to Wi-Fi 8.

Eric Smith, VP of Product at Edgewater Wireless, noted the increasing demand for deterministic performance and resilience in all wireless verticals. He says Spectrum Slicing™ meets these needs and expands the company's market reach.

The initiative is expected to strengthen the connection between Edgewater’s Wi-Fi 8-ready silicon roadmap and future partnerships in sectors where reliability and predictable latency are crucial. The company plans to provide updates on evaluation activities and collaboration progress.

Edgewater Wireless aims to deliver unmatched Wi-Fi quality of service by mitigating congestion, allocating spectrum in real-time, and optimizing channel and link density. This results in reduced churn, improved efficiency, and high-performance connectivity.

Edgewater’s patented, AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™ platform, delivered through the PrismIQ™ product family, breaks the limits of legacy Wi-Fi by enabling multiple concurrent channels within a single band.

With 26 granted patents and three AI-related patents pending, Edgewater Wireless is transforming the economics of Wi-Fi for service providers, OEMs, and enterprises.
