Zinwave, a leading supplier of wideband DAS technology for in-building wireless and IP coverage, announced today its strategic alliance with Edgewater Wireless, developers of patented WiFi3™ technology. Zinwave will be integrating WiFi3™ into its proven DAS offering to provide the industry’s first dedicated high density, multi-channel wireless and Wi-Fi coverage solution.
Zinwave’s new range of wireless products (launched at Mobile World Congress) will now include Edgewater Wireless’ WiFi3™ technology and will extend the Zinwave’s proprietary DAS solutions into a turnkey 360-degree solution for in-building wireless and Wi-Fi networks. Zinwave’s Wi-Fi-enhanced product, branded as UNIaccess, is specifically designed to address high-density network requirements. Stadiums, arenas, hotels & casinos, convention centers, corporate & college campuses, shopping malls and high pedestrian traffic urban areas will benefit from WiFi3™ technology.
“We’re excited to form this alliance with Zinwave. They recognized the inherent value of Edgewater’s patented WiFi3™ technology for high-density Wi-Fi applications.” said Andrew Skafel, CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “This strategic alliance with Zinwave represents a major step in the OEM/Licensing pillar of our three-part market expansion strategy highlighted at our recent AGM. This alliance, coupled with our early success on the patent licensing front and our current engagement with a Fortune 500 retailer, has created immediate opportunities for sales and company growth on all fronts.”
As a strategic partner, Zinwave will market and sell WiFi3™ powered products for DAS applications. The new series of UNIaccess products will include Edgewater Wireless’ patented high capacity WiFi3™ technology, within its unique wideband active DAS solution.
“We’ve solved the biggest challenge for high density networks – CAPACITY.” said Ian Sugarbroad, CEO of Zinwave. “Including Edgewater’s high density WiFi3™ technology as part of our integrated unified communications solution answers this challenge. We already have a huge CAPEX advantage with our UNItivity solution and with the addition of WiFi3™, we now have an even better technology advantage for network operators with high capacity network requirements.”
Zinwave’s wideband in-building wireless and IP coverage system, UNItivity, supports any combination of services between 150MHz-2700MHz on a single hardware layer, regardless of protocol or modulation scheme. It is also the only system to support multiple FDD and TDD LTE services simultaneously across any spectrum allocated globally.
