Global Invacom Selects Edgewater Wireless for Bx-WiFi
Partnership
Revolutionary high-density WiFi platform to be used for Bx-WiFi
development
Singapore, London and Ottawa, 14 March 2019 - Global Invacom
(SGX: QS9) (AIM: GINV), a global provider of satellite
communications equipment, is pleased to announce a partnership (the
"Partnership") with Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc (YFI: TSX.V)
(OTCQB: KPIFF), ("Edgewater") for the further development of
Broadcast WiFi ("Bx-WiFi"), a technology that enables live, high
quality and large-scale event video streaming over a Wi-Fi
network.
Edgewater is an industry leader in innovative WiFi Multi-Channel
Single Radio (MCSR(TM)) technology for residential and commercial
markets. The Partnership will leverage Edgewater's expertise to
further develop the existing Bx-WiFi technology and will provide
access to Edgewater's professional grade WiFi technology,
engineered to support high-client density applications. Access to
Edgewater's MCSR(TM) platform will enable large scale testing over
a high-quality network designed to withstand increasing use of WiFi
and mobile devices within stadiums and arenas.
Bx-WiFi was first unveiled and successfully live-tested by the
BBC and Global Invacom in August 2017 at the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, the largest arts festival in the world. The breakthrough
technology enables simultaneous streaming of uninterrupted audio or
video content from multiple sources to thousands of smartphone or
tablet devices, all connected to a hotspot in the same venue, such
as a concert, conference or sporting fixture. It uses Forward Error
Correction to maintain video quality, and multicast technology that
minimises bandwidth usage when a large number of users are
simultaneously streaming.
According to Statista (November 2018), more than 619.7 million
people attended music and sporting events worldwide in 2018,
generating more than USD 63.7 billion in revenue and rising this
year to a projected 653.8 million+ attendees and USD 71.7 billion
in revenue. As live sports fans, event attendees and concertgoers
pour into these venues, they expect to be able to access
high-quality WiFi service without disruption or delay, regardless
of how many users and devices are being used simultaneously. The
Partnership solves the problems of WiFi reception and transmission
in high-traffic venues by adding Edgewater's MCSR solutions to
Global Invacom's Bx-WiFi technology.
Steven Fisher, Systems Architect at Global Invacom, commented:
"We're thrilled to be partnering with Edgewater to further develop
our Bx-WiFi technology. Access to Edgewater's experience and
industry know-how will enable us to improve and enhance our
existing technology without customer grade hardware
limitations."
"We are very pleased to be working with Global Invacom and to be
testing the Bx-WiFi technology over our footprint of WiFi hotspots.
This partnership will allow us to push the boundaries of our
hardware and could set a new record number for video streaming to a
device on each hotspot," said Eric Smith, VP of Product for
Edgewater Wireless. "Applications like Bx-WiFi further enhance the
capabilities of our MCSR(TM) technology and further drive market
demand."
