Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (YFI; TSX.V)(OTCQB; KPIFF), the industry
leader in innovative Wi-Fi Multi-Channel Single Radio (MCSR™)
technology, in joint development with CableLabs®, a non-profit
innovation and R&D lab founded by members of the cable television
industry, today announced the availability of Dual Channel Wi-Fi™ in
public open source.
Developed jointly by CableLabs and Edgewater Wireless Systems, code to
support Dual Channel Wi-Fi™ has been released into the OpenWrt
repository and is available here.
A revolutionary approach to alleviating jittery video and laggy gaming
experiences, Dual Channel Wi-Fi enables one or more downlink-only data
channels in addition to a standard bi-directional channel. Compatible
with all Wi-Fi releases, including Edgewater’s MCSR™, Dual Channel Wi-Fi
unlocks unused spectrum to dramatically reduce contention and latency
while increasing airtime utilization. Developed for various Access
Points and client platforms, including set-top boxes, TVs and soon,
gaming platforms and iPads, Dual Channel Wi-Fi can be implemented
wherever traditional single-channel Wi-Fi struggles with contention – in
residential and enterprise applications globally.
“Dual Channel Wi-Fi brilliantly addresses latency and utilizes Wi-Fi
spectrum as never before. Implementing Dual Channel Wi-Fi using Spectrum
Slicing on our patented Multi-Channel Single Radio (MCSR™), Edgewater
Wireless can unlock under-used spectrum with concurrent in-band
multi-channel,” said Eric Smith, VP Product of Edgewater Wireless. “When
you can slice up the spectrum, as Edgewater Wireless does, your
flexibility in deploying techniques like Dual Channel Wi-Fi are vast and
very powerful in all Wi-Fi verticals, including the residential market.”
“Dual Channel is the start of a new revolution in the industry, and puts
us at the forefront of this game changing innovation” said Andrew
Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “As a great follow-up
to our participation in the CableLabs/UpRamp Fiterator, we’re excited to
be part of this major development by the globally respected industry
innovation engine, CableLabs. Applications like Dual Channel Wi-Fi open
up opportunities for OEM/ODM and licensing with major global players for
Edgewater and represent a major step forward.”
