Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), the industry pioneer of AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing silicon solutions and IP, today announced that Andrew Skafel, President and Chief Executive Officer, will be speaking at Microelectronics US in Austin, Texas, at 11:30 a.m. local time on Thursday, April 23, 2026. At a time when wireless performance is increasingly defined by reliability, predictability and latency under real-world load, Skafel's presentation will focus on how Edgewater's groundbreaking AI-powered Spectrum Slicing architecture can be leveraged to enable deterministic, low-latency connectivity for drones, robotics and other interference-sensitive applications operating in dense, challenging and contested RF environments.
The presentation is expected to reinforce a core Edgewater thesis: the market is moving beyond legacy single-channel wireless 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 to extend its PrismIQ silicon and IP platform into high-value applications where resilient communications are mission-critical and where 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, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “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. We believe these same capabilities that position Edgewater for the Wi-Fi 8 era also create a compelling and accretive path into emerging UAV, dual-use and other high-reliability markets.”
Edgewater has recently expanded its public focus on dual-use and high-reliability wireless applications, including UAV, drone, robotics, defence, public safety and critical infrastructure markets. The Company's recent Memorandum of Understanding with AirMetal Robotics further supports this direction, creating a framework to explore technical and commercial opportunities for next-generation, interference-tolerant wireless solutions 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 - particularly where conventional wireless links begin to break down.

Microelectronics US is expected to bring together leading engineers, innovators and industry participants across semiconductor design, packaging, manufacturing and embedded systems in Austin, one of North America’s fastest-growing semiconductor hubs. Edgewater's participation underscores the growing importance of reliable wireless connectivity in advanced technology sectors. The company's AI-powered Spectrum Slicing technology, delivered through its PrismIQ product family, enables multiple concurrent channels within a single band, offering more usable capacity, lower latency and more deterministic performance. With 26 granted patents and three AI-related patents pending, Edgewater is positioning itself at the forefront of the Wi-Fi 8 era.
