EDGEWATER TO FOCUS ON THE ROLE OF WI-FI SPECTRUM SLICING IN 5G WORLD; EXPLORES EXPANSION OF CORE TECHNOLOGY TO CAPTURE GROWING 5G OPPORTUNITIES
Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. will focus on the role of WiFi spectrum slicing in the 5G world. The company explores the expansion of its core technology to capture growing global 5G momentum.
Global technology, media and telecom (TMT) industry momentum in 5G and the increasing importance of WiFi indoor create opportunities for a converged digital world. With over eight billion WiFi devices (Monica Paolini, WBA annual industry report 2019, Wireless Broadband Alliance), 70 per cent of cellular data over WiFi (Monica Paolini, WBA annual industry report 2019, Wireless Broadband Alliance) and the acceleration of work-from-home resulting from the global pandemic, WiFi will play a critical role in realizing the 5G ambition.
To help navigate these future trends, Edgewater has earned access to leading industry bodies such as CableLabs and the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), and continues to build on relationships with industry leaders to advise on the new opportunities for Edgewater's patented approach.
In view of the need to focus on these critical industry trends and increasing personal European commitments, Steve Andrews and Richard Nottenburg have transitioned from the board of directors to an advisory capacity. They will play a more strategic advisory role for the company as the company advances.
"We thank Steve and Richard for their contributions to the board of directors, and look forward to continuing to work with them as they move into their new roles," said Brian Imrie, director of Edgewater Wireless.
