Multi-connectivity for real-time streaming over Wi-Fi
a day ago
- NanoPing uses three Wi-Fi networks simultaneously to transmit live video, ensuring every packet arrives within 100 ms.
- Each network alone would have caused delays or lost frames, but combining them eliminates all late or lost packets.
- The system dynamically shifts video traffic to the best-performing networks at any moment, avoiding weak spots.
- No single network was a bottleneck; the slowest packets were avoided, with all packets arriving well under the 100 ms limit.
- The test involved a laptop moving through a 30 m lab with three access points on different channels, demonstrating seamless handover.
- Repair packets and retransmissions compensated for losses, with 100% of video packets arriving on time.
- NanoPing's approach avoids the need for network switching, as each Wi-Fi adapter remains connected to its own access point.
