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

Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), a pioneer in AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing silicon solutions, announced that President and CEO Andrew Skafel will speak at Microelectronics US in Austin, Texas, on April 23, 2026. The presentation will focus on how Edgewater's Spectrum Slicing architecture enables deterministic, low-latency connectivity for drones, robotics, and other interference-sensitive applications operating in dense and contested RF environments.

As wireless performance increasingly hinges on reliability, predictability, and latency under real-world load, Edgewater argues the market is shifting away from legacy single-channel architectures toward ultra-high reliability—a trend that aligns with the path to Wi-Fi 8. This shift opens an adjacent opportunity for Edgewater's PrismIQ silicon and IP platform in high-value applications where resilient communications are mission-critical. Near-term commercial pathways may include engineering engagements, NRE programs, reference designs, module opportunities, and strategic IP relationships.

"Wireless is no longer judged only by peak speed. In drones, autonomous systems and mission-critical networks, what matters is whether the link performs when interference, congestion and mobility are at their worst," said Andrew Skafel. "That is exactly where Spectrum Slicing changes the conversation. Our architecture was built to deliver deterministic performance, lower latency and improved resilience under real-world conditions."

Edgewater has recently expanded its focus on dual-use and high-reliability wireless applications, including UAV, drone, robotics, defence, public safety, and critical infrastructure markets. A recent Memorandum of Understanding with AirMetal Robotics supports this direction, creating a framework for next-generation, interference-tolerant wireless solutions in advanced unmanned platforms.

Microelectronics US brings together engineers and industry participants across semiconductor design, packaging, manufacturing, and embedded systems in Austin, a growing semiconductor hub.
