Edgewater Wireless Expands Spectrum Slicing(TM) Roadmap to Emerging Dual-Use Connectivity Applications

(TheNewswire)

Reliability-first, low-latencyarchitecture delivers deterministic performance in interference-richUAV/drone and mission-critical networks—expanding the addressablemarket for Spectrum Slicing™ and the PrismIQ™ productfamily

March 5,2026 – TheNewswire -Ottawa, Canada and SantaClara, USA – Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC:KPIFF), the industry pioneer of AI-powered Wi-FiSpectrum Slicing™ silicon solutions and IP, today launched a focusedinitiative to extend Spectrum Slicing™ into Dual-Use connectivityapplications—targeting environments where predictable latency,resilience, and deterministic performance define success as much aspeak throughput.

“Wireless is now the operating backbone for drones,robotics, mobile command-and-control, and critical infrastructure,”said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “Thesenetworks must perform under congestion, contention, andinterference. Spectrum Slicing™ was built for exactly thosereal-world conditions, and Edgewater is now applying thatreliability-first architecture to high-value adjacentmarkets.”

Dual-Use expands the addressablemarket

Industry forecasts highlight strong growthacross the Dual-Use adjacency set. Analysts estimate the overall UAVmarket at ~US$26.1B in 2025, reaching ~US$40.6B by 2030, whilethe drone communications segment grows from ~US$2.46B(2024) to ~US$3.67B (2029)1. Mission-critical communications is also projected toreach ~US$34.1B by 20302,reflecting the accelerating global shift toward resilient, real-timeconnectivity. 
Edgewater positions this initiative as accretive: it broadenscommercial surface area for Spectrum Slicing™ and PrismIQ™ whileleveraging the Company’s existing silicon and IP executionroadmap.

Built on a Reliability-FirstFoundation

Edgewater’s Spectrum Slicing™ platform moves beyondlegacy single-channel contention by enabling intelligent spectrumallocation and concurrent channel utilization within a band—anarchitecture aligned with the industry’s evolutiontoward ultra-high reliability on the road to Wi-Fi8.

“Wireless is entering an era where reliability isthe new speed—and that requirement doesn’t stop at the homegateway,” said Eric Smith, VP of Product at Edgewater Wireless.“Customers now demand deterministic performance, lower latency, andresilience under contention in all wireless verticals. SpectrumSlicing™ delivers those outcomes and expands our commercial surfacearea.”

Driving Momentum Toward StrategicCollaboration

This initiative strengthens the bridge betweenEdgewater’s Wi-Fi8-ready silicon execution roadmap and futurepartnerships in adjacent verticals where reliability, resilience, andpredictable latency create measurable operational value. Edgewaterwill provide updates as evaluation activities progress and ascollaboration structures advance.
