have previously had limited bandwidth, will be powered by WiFi3 technology ensuring everyone’s connected experience is
flawless.
Mediacom Communications chose Edgewater Wireless Systems because of its innovative and highly
differentiated technology. In today’s Internet of Things environment more and
more people rely on WiFi to support an unlimited number of mobile devices. Mediacom requires a platform that can support a
high density of wireless users, with multiple devices while also supporting resort management. Edgewater’s WiFi capabilities

“We’re excited to be working with Mediacom and to ensure the residents and visitors to WaterColor
have an unparalleled experience with WiFi,” said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “The biggest
challenges in smart hospitality wireless infrastructure today are capacity and density limitations of current WiFi architecture and
we’ve designed WiFi3 specifically to bring a smart solution to resorts and hotel WiFi networks. Our joint project with
Mediacom Communications could not have been achieved without the acceleration of our technology for the Cable industry through
UpRamp sponsored by CableLabs. We have now launched some of the most innovative hardware in the wireless industry at WaterColor.
Our WiFi access points powered by WiFi3 technology will enable more users to connect and benefit from the innovation we’ve put into
our wireless technology.”
According to Research & Markets, the Smart Hospitality Market will grow globally to $18.11 billion
USD by 2021. Smart Hospitality solutions are being driven by the growing demand for optimized, real-time guest services, room
