Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. will accelerate initiatives to on-shore silicon development and commercialization for the next-generation of Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing silicon solutions. Edgewater Silicon Process & Supply Line Control: Edgewater's strategic initiative offers the Company more direct control of its silicon process and supply line, including critical design and quality assurance efforts. It provides closer access to North American foundries both now and in the future — creating more jobs for chip design and QA engineers in Canada and the United States.

On-shoring the design and design verification processes will effectively allow complete domestic development in preparation for prototype manufacturing and lab validation of full-duplex Wi-Fi ASICs. Benefits of On-shoring for Edgewater: Quality, Control and Supply Line Certainty: Finalizing silicon development on-shore is the culmination of a multi-year process taking proven designs and cost optimizing silicon solutions for higher volume markets like Residential and Enterprise Wi-Fi. On-shoring enables the Company to more closely monitor quality as designs approach production, also offering supply line certainty and streamlines production management.
