Edgewater CEO, Andrew Skafel, to speak at Accelerated: Canada’s Semiconductor Symposium 2025 in Vancouver, showcasing Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™, AI-at-the-edge connectivity and Canada’s leadership in next-generation Wi-Fi 8-ready silicon
OTTAWA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$YFI #Densification–Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF), the industry pioneer of AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™ technology for residential and enterprise markets, today announced that it will attend Accelerated: Canada’s Semiconductor Symposium 2025, taking place November 25–26, 2025, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Hosted by FABrIC and CMC Microsystems, Accelerated is recognized as Canada’s signature semiconductor event, bringing the domestic chip ecosystem together with end-user industries such as aerospace and defence, automotive, medtech, advanced manufacturing, and ocean and marine technology to map the path forward for a more resilient Canadian economy. The 2025 edition will be held at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre in downtown Vancouver.
As part of the program, Andrew Skafel, President & CEO of Edgewater Wireless, will speak at the Symposium, sharing Edgewater’s perspective on next-generation Wi-Fi silicon, AI-enabled connectivity at the edge, and Canada’s opportunity to lead in ultra-high-reliability wireless for dense residential, enterprise and industrial IoT environments.
“Accelerated is quickly becoming the focal point for Canada’s semiconductor ecosystem,” said Andrew Skafel, President & CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “With FABrIC, CMC and partners across the country, we’re not just talking about strategy—we’re executing on a made-in-Canada Wi-Fi roadmap that brings AI, Spectrum Slicing and Wi-Fi 8–ready silicon to real-world deployments. We’re looking forward to contributing to the conversation in Vancouver and meeting with industry, government and investors who share that vision.”
Edgewater was selected in 2025 as one of FABrIC’s funded challenge projects, receiving approximately $921,000 in non-dilutive support toward a $2.4 million commercialization initiative to accelerate its next-generation multi-link Wi-Fi silicon platform. This builds on a long-standing collaboration with CMC Microsystems and FABrIC, a five-year, $223M Strategic Response Fund (SRF) initiative by the Government of Canada, to advance Canadian capabilities in advanced semiconductor design and manufacturing.
At Accelerated, Edgewater plans to highlight how its patented Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™ architecture delivers substantially higher throughput, lower latency and improved reliability in device-dense environments, while aligning with emerging Wi-Fi 8 and AI-at-the-edge use cases that are central themes of the Symposium program.
