Will spectrum slicing wifi START UP where ............

legacy single channel wifi spits, stutters, coughs, and hacks ?


Edgewater Wireless made a strategic pivot in 2015 when it became apparent that legacy single channel wi-fi was tripping over their own feet trying to service high density wi-fi usage with single channel wifi. The wifi problems service providers were experiencing were popping up faster than dandelions in the spring.   More AP`s, more antennas, more speed, and more money  was engaged to solve the problemst, and all to little avail.  Ironically,  the only thing that was not considered to be a solution was spectrum slicing wi-fi.  It is now fruitless to guess exactly why this technology was ignored by the industry at large because the answer may be as simple as the power of  branding.  The continulal mantra being that more speed was just around the corner with the new emerging standard.  The POC and pilot by Liberty Global clearly exemplified that speed was not the antidote.

Hence, contrary to what some detractors stipulate here, 2003 -2016 proves to represent more of a failure by the legacy industry than YFI.  A failure to solve the performance problems, and a failure to recognize, and adopt the solution that had been knocking on their doors for years. 

2016 represents a pivot from some in the industry.  In particular it was Cable Labs supported by some top CEO and CTO`s of major global service provider members who selectively invited YFI to UpRamp. What followed was intensive testing by Kyrio Labs and YFI became part of their family.  The road to 10G was born, Dual Channel WiFi, DOCSIS 4.0, WiFi6 &E, and here were are today awaiting the standardization of WiFi7 and whether YFI will jump through the remaining hoops to have a scaled WiFi7 chip for licencing and sale.

If you were interested in guessing as to whether YFI will be at the table with a WiFi7 chip or not, it might help to become not only familliar with all the remaining hoops it is necessary to jump through, but also the unlimited strategies that can be employed in doing so.

As my buddy Willy Blake once said: "What is now proved was only imagined."

"it might help to become not only familliar with all the remaining hoops it is necessary to jump through, but also the unlimited strategies that can be employed in doing so." Sammy I guess we just have to assume you have all the answers and will just lord it all over the rest of us. Some things never change regardless of how many years pass. We're just about through 2023. Will it

I'll start here, at the start. "Edgewater Wireless made a strategic pivot in 2015 when it became apparent that legacy single channel wi-fi was tripping over their own feet" This is if course complete BS. Wifi3 was built by Engim for high density. The 2003 Tolly report was done to highlight high density performance. I guess Duane had no idea what he was buying. Or he did and as
