Redundix by Barix is a technology to improve the quality of a received RTP stream using two mechanisms. The first is time-diverse routing, where the same audio stream is sent twice over the same line, immediately on encoding, and also time-delayed. The second is divergent routing, where two streams are sent using seperate networks: one wired WAN-connection and one WLAN-connection. At the receiving point, all streams are buffered and combined into one final stream. Redundix by Barix will cope with problems of the network infrastructure, including glitches, unreliable connections or even short failure.

Redundix adds resiience to IP-based transport by either time-delaying two streams on the same network or sending a redundant stream over a separate path. On the receiving side, Redundix repairs lost packets in the stream caused by transport network imperfections using the time or path redundant streams. The result is better audio quality because lost packets are replaced, and audible imperfections are significantly reduced.

Redundix Box is a device that is performing as Redundix transmitter and a second unit as Redundix receiver.

Redundix can be configured stand-alone using the local web based product interface or cloud managed as part of the well-established subscription based Reflector Service (www.streamguys.com/services/cloud/reflector). Using Reflector Service removes the requirements for fixed IP addresses, greatly simplifies configuration and provides operational peace of mind.

Redundix is codec independent and can be deployed as extension to an existing encoder/decoder RTP setup. This protects investments and reduces cost.
