Problem
In multi-hop networks, packet loss accumulates with each hop, causing transmission throughput to drop drastically, especially in wireless environments and industrial settings with heavy machinery. Traditional transport protocols like TCP struggle to maintain high throughput and low latency in these challenging network conditions, hindering reliable data delivery.
Solution
n-hop technologies addresses the multi-hop network bottleneck with BATS coding technology, a network coding approach that sustains high transmission throughput even with numerous hops. BATS employs recoding of data within the network to increase throughput, adaptive redundancy, and error correction to combat packet loss. The BATS Transport Protocol can be implemented as containerized software, integrating into cloud-native environments to ensure robust data connections with low latency and jitter. The RNX-1 Network Accelerator, a semiconductor module, accelerates network coding algorithms, including BATS, to speed up applications.
Target Audience
The primary customers include network operators upgrading to 5G, enterprises with cloud-native infrastructure, and organizations requiring reliable connectivity in challenging environments such as power plants, edge computing deployments, and rural areas.
