“The demand for client airtime on the WiFi spectrum is the most important issue in WiFi today. The rapidly growing number of WiFi users, the increasing demand for spectrum airtime by the background functions of mobile applications, and the flood of IoT devices for the retail and smart home markets are creating significant airtime contention issues in WiFi. Channel densification within the WiFi coverage area can relieve airtime contention issues in client-dense WiFi environments. Edgewater is delivering advanced multi-channel single radio (MCSR) solutions and better performance in high-density WiFi environments,” said Eric Smith, VP Product for Edgewater Wireless.
