12:40 PM EDT, 08/05/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Edgewater Wireless Systems ( KPIFF ) on Tuesday said it is prototyping a next-generation Wi-Fi baseband chip.

The company's new chip comes amid its recent entry into the Arm Flexible Access program, which grants Edgewater early and cost-effective access to a wide intellectual-property portfolio as well as tools and support.

"AI-driven spectrum engineering, at the edge, is the future of wireless-and we're building it now. Prototyping within Arm's proven ecosystem brings scalable, energy-efficient intelligence directly into the Wi-Fi chipset, bringing machine learning to the network edge. The Arm Cortex and Ethos suite of processors will allow us to develop a new category of Wi-Fi connectivity solutions." said VP Product Eric Smith.

The prototyping stage of the Wi-Fi baseband is part of its next-generation silicon development strategy that aims to enable Edgewater to de-risk product development and position Canada as a leader in intelligent connectivity and chips innovation.

The company's shares were last seen unchanged at $0.065 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
