Edgewater to receive contribution through the National Research Council of Canada Industrial  Research Assistance Program

Ottawa, January 2010 -  Edgewater Computer Systems, Inc. (ECSI) is proud to announce today that it has signed a Contribution Agreement with the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC‐IRAP). The financial support enables ECSI to continue its advanced algorithmic work into network infrastructure health monitoring and wiring diagnostics while leveraging ECSI’s foundational Xi‐Channel™ technology.

“We were very impressed by the efficiency and speed with which the NRC‐IRAP was able to enter into this program with Edgewater” commented Mr. Duane Anderson, President of ECSI.
“This contribution from NRC‐IRAP will prove instrumental in improving the way data bus networks are maintained in the future”.

Xi‐Channel™ provides an affordable solution to the integration of increased network capacity into existing data bus networks. Wiring Diagnostics provides continuous visibility into changing network conditions to identify, locate and pre‐empt possible network failure mechanisms leading to a reduction in data faults, and dramatically reducing the cost of maintenance and in service support (ISS) for a variety of network implementations.
