RE:RE:COX in Vegas going wirelessleodevoe wrote: Huh? I have no idea on what planet Duane was a wifi guru. He bought wifi3 from a bankrupt Engim in 2006 and by 2014 had owned it for 8 years with zero success. Fast forward another 7 years and still bupkis. I have no idea what he contributed to development after he bought it, but he clearly didn't have anything to do with its invention. Maybe one day I'll write a post about the early years of Yfi, post RTO, when they built out an organization and blew through all the RTO cash. In short maybe they should have been more focussed on product than sales.

From February 20, 2018:
Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (YFI: TSX.V) (OTCQB: KPIFF), the developer of WiFi3™ ultra-wideband, concurrent multi-radio, WiFi chipsets, modular circuit cards, and access points for high-density/high-interference wireless networks made to meet the challenge of large retailers, enterprise, and event venues, today announced the establishment of a Wireless Technology Advisory Panel, to be led by Duane Anderson, founder.
"I am excited to continue to advise and counsel the technology vision for Edgewater Wireless and WiFi3," said Duane Anderson. "I am personally invested in the company, I have steadfastly maintained all of my personal holdings , and I plan to continue doing so going forward as Edgewater Wireless continues to build momentum and increased sales for its unique WiFi3 products."
The charter of the Edgewater Wireless Technology Advisory Panel includes the regular scientific assessment of WiFi technology, RF signal technologies/management and related chip development, in addition to research of future market needs to the benefit of Edgewater Wireless stakeholders and customers. Mr. Anderson will transition out of his role as CTO of Edgewater Wireless to lead the Advisory Panel and will play a more strategic role for the company.

All we're missing after 3 years is a report as to who the members of this committee are and what achievements they have completed regarding wifi innovations.
