The Steinwurf Team will be at MWC 2021 in Barcelona from 28 June to 1 July for in person meetings. Drop by our booth to learn about our FEC solutions.

RLNC based FEC codes from Steinwurf can help level up performance while using less overhead and translating to lower operating costs for better quality of experience and a more reliable service.

SD-WAN companies need to simultaneously minimize latency and maximize reliability – as a consequence, continued use of ARQ or traditional block ECC / FEC solutions won’t deliver the performance required.

The only viable option is to have a system that can operate flawlessly even in the presence of packet loss, and mask it from the user such that they don’t experience any drop outs, lag, delay, lost inputs and connection instability. Steinwurf’s next generation FEC is a must have component for a seamless gaming experience.

What difference can content-aware forward erasure correction have on latency, when the content being delivered is designed to be received in order? A great deal.

All Steinwurf’s ECC/FEC algorithms utilize SIMD acceleration with run-time detection of the CPU capabilities. This means the same binary can run on multiple different CPUs and automatically utilize the fastest SIMD acceleration available.

We will show how using an erasure correcting code/Forward Erasure correction (ECC/FEC) can lead to significant bandwidth savings over a traditional retransmission based system.

This week IETF 109 is being held as a virtual online conference (the IETF is the standardization organization for the protocols used on the Internet).

In this post we will compare two algorithms, namely Rely and Reed-Solomon. Rely is a sliding window based RLNC algorithm, whereas Reed-Solomon is based on a classical Vandermonde matrix construction.

We just released version 2 of our “Rely” solution which implements modern ECC/FEC to allow low-latency and efficient recovery of packet loss e.g. for video streaming or other latency sensitive applications.

Steinwurf has developed and improved coding of VPN / SD WAN traffic based on RLNC using forward erasure correcting codes.

California-based Barracuda Networks and Denmark-based Steinwurf ApS announce an OEM relationship to use Steinwurf’s Kodo Software libraries to add Erasure Correcting Codes (ECC) with the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall.

Steinwurf are very grateful and proud to announce that the Innovation Fund Denmark have decided to help fund the next phase of OTAcast development.

Some wireless devices are only meant to receive data, and are not able or allowed to send back information to the network using a wireless return channel. In this post we look at how and why OTAcast is a great solution in such cases.

Picking the right erasure correcting code (ECC) for a specific application is a challenging task. Different codes and implementations have different properties and characteristics. In this document we compare two popular ECC choices: the RLNC (Random Linear Network Codes) family of codes and RaptorQ.

OTAcast supports gigabyte file sizes and up to 1000s of receivers over a unidirectional link (multicast/broadcast).
