YFI Drops 1.7% After Subpar Weekly Results as Edgewater Showcases AI-Powered Wi-Fi at Canada’s Leading Semiconductor Conference

Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc., a pioneer in AI-driven Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™ technology, is set to present its advanced wireless innovations at Accelerated: Canada’s Semiconductor Symposium 2025, taking place in Vancouver on November 25–26. Organized by FABrIC and CMC Microsystems, this event is widely regarded as the leading gathering for Canada’s semiconductor industry. Edgewater will demonstrate how its patented Wi-Fi 8–compatible silicon platform boosts data throughput, minimizes latency, and enables AI-powered edge connectivity in high-density settings.

Andrew Skafel, CEO of Edgewater, will give a keynote address outlining the company’s vision for ultra-reliable wireless solutions and discussing Canada’s potential to lead in AI-based connectivity across enterprise, industrial IoT, and home markets. The company is currently advancing a $2.4 million commercialization project, partially supported by a $921,000 non-dilutive grant from FABrIC, which is part of a $2.223 billion government Strategic Response Fund program.

Edgewater’s involvement in the symposium highlights its dedication to bringing its AI-powered Wi-Fi technology into practical use. The company asserts that its Spectrum Slicing platform can achieve up to tenfold increases in performance and halve latency in environments with multiple devices, providing a significant advantage in the expanding IoT and edge computing sectors.

The symposium is anticipated to draw key industry figures, investors, and government officials, offering Edgewater a platform to build new partnerships and highlight the commercial promise of its silicon-based technologies. Operating as a fabless company and holding 26 patents, Edgewater has established itself at the forefront of wireless and AI-enabled infrastructure innovation.

As Canada aims to strengthen its semiconductor sector, Edgewater’s AI-centric platform supports national efforts to decrease reliance on overseas supply chains and promote homegrown research and development. Backed by major government initiatives and rising interest in advanced wireless solutions, the company is positioning itself for sustained growth despite facing current market headwinds.

This news comes as the company’s stock has recently faced a downturn. On November 21, 2025, YFI dropped 0.17% over 24 hours to $4160, representing an 8.95% decrease in the past week and an 11.85% fall over the previous month.
