Join
the Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing revolution
Crowded
with a multitude of new devices, homes, offices and public areas,
the need to optimize video and data applications has never been
more critical. Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing offers
breakthrough performance; slicing available
spectrum in to multiple
channels and
opening
up capacity for latency-sensitive
applications. Edgewater's groundbreaking
MCSR™
silicon
solutions and IP licensing offer device
manufacturers and chip companies a quick path to the $12.9 billion
home market[2].
"The
upstreaming of the Dual Channel
Wi-Fi feature by the
OpenWrt
community
is a major milestone
that
will
drive the adoption
of Edgewater's
advanced
multi-channel Wi-Fi
Spectrum Slicing
approach,"
Said Eric Smith, VP Product for Edgewater Wireless.
"Additionally, our
newly launched tutorial demonstrates a real-world implementation of
the Dual Channel Wi-Fi feature powered by Edgewater's MCSR(tm)
hardware. It's a new, repeatable example for thousands of
Linux developers around the globe -- highlighting the power
of Edgewater's
revolutionary Wi-Fi Spectrum
Slicing approach."

A
revolutionary approach to alleviating jittery video and laggy
gaming experiences, Dual Channel Wi-Fi enables one or more
downlink-only data channels in concert with
a
standard bi-directional channel.
Fully
compatible
with
Edgewater's MCSR™,
Dual Channel Wi-Fi unlocks unused spectrum to reduce contention and
latency while increasing airtime utilization dramatically.
Originally
conceptualized by CableLabs and developed for various
Access Points and client platforms, including set-top boxes, TVs
and soon, gaming platforms and iPads, Dual Channel Wi-Fi can be
implemented wherever traditional single-channel Wi-Fi struggles
with contention, including
residential and
enterprise applications globally.
With over
1,681 developers[3],
the Linux community represents one of the largest global software
development organizations, and the OpenWrt
stream is
a Linux operating system used by devices such as routers,
smartphones, and residential gateways.
The Dual
Channel Wi-Fi™ code
is now available in the
19.07 branch of OpenWrt
at
www.openwrt.org
