Optimized Performance

Utilizes adaptive ARQ (Automatic
Repeat reQuest) and FEC (Forward
Error Correction) to minimize latency
and maximize bandwidth efficiency.

Network Adaptability

Adjusts to varying network conditions
with built-in latency tracking and
multi-path transmission for smooth
and reliable data flow.

Functionality

What Our Customers Are Saying

  • “Steinwurf's software libraries made it very easy to get started and test out their FEC solution in our SD-WAN products. It was straightforward to translate the solution into our framework and their high-quality code and top-notch technical support made it a pleasure to work with both Steinwurf and their software.”

    Harald Grossauer

    Software Engineering Lead at Barracuda Networks

  • “We did some searching to try and find a solution to the thousands of vehicles that need to update all their software. Trying to do it on a unicast basis just won't work. So [with Steinwurf’s licensed product] we developed a solution using a network coding structure and made it available to our suppliers, they tested and tried it and we found it was pretty efficient and would work pretty well. The vendors tested it, validated it, and we moved forward with it.”

    Robert Rausch

    Design Lead at Transcore

  • “We have teamed up with Steinwurf since 2015 and developed a close business partnership. We value Steinwurf’s innovative products along with a positive attitude and a win-win approach to business.”

    Andreas Dotzler

    CEO at CADAMI
