Edgewater Wireless Systems, the industry leader in Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing technology for residential and enterprise markets, announced the selection of an on-shore fabrication services partner.
CMC Microsystems has been selected to provide a conduit to North American fabrication services for Edgewater’s next-generation of Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing silicon solutions via GlobalFoundries (GF), the global leader in feature-rich semiconductor manufacturing.
CMC Microsystems is the preferred fabrication partner for many of Canada’s top fabless semiconductor companies and has a solid relationship with GlobalFoundries, allowing for both engineering wafer and mass production wafer manufacturing.
Impacts on Edgewater:
1) Partnership with CMC secures access to foundry and technical support
2) Multi-product wafer approach allows for quick-turn / low risk before volume production
3) Design and Quality Assurance efforts have a swift conduit to fabrication
4) Shows Edgewater’s strong commitment to on-shore production.
Andrew Skafel, President and CEO
Delivering on our promise to on-shore our silicon production, we have solidified our relationship with CMC Microsystems to ramp up our access to GlobalFoundries, the largest silicon manufacturing foundry owned and operated in North America. This strategic and timely partnership gives us access to multi-product and single-product wafer fabrication and energizes our commitment to Canadian and North American silicon manufacturing.
Gordon Harling, CEO of CMC Microsystems
Edgewater’s cutting-edge Spectrum Slicing technology will give Canada a strategic advantage in Wi-Fi silicon for years to come, and we are excited to be part of this effort. CMC’s close relationship with GlobalFoundries will ensure timely, cost-effective fabrication.
