What we do

Stay online when it matters most

NanoPing gives you the tools to move fast, stay online and deliver every time. No more workarounds: it solves problems that regular networking tools can’t touch.

Mission-critical systems

Keep control, video and data flowing for the systems that can’t afford to drop out.

Live video over shaky links

Stream smoothly over mobile, satellite and Wi-Fi, even when one of them falters.

Long-distance connections

Stay quick and responsive across long, slow routes where every delay adds up.

Our story

Built on research, designed for you

NanoPing started life as Steinwurf, a research company founded in 2011 to find better ways to get data through unreliable networks. In 2025 we changed our name to NanoPing to mark a new direction: turning that research into products real teams can use.

  1. 2011

    Founded as Steinwurf

    A research company working on network coding: sending data so that lost pieces can be rebuilt when it arrives, instead of being sent again.

  2. Research

    Kodo, used around the world

    Our network coding library, Kodo, is used by companies and universities around the world.

  3. 2025

    Renamed NanoPing

    More than a new name: a shift toward making the technology simple and practical for developers, engineers and product teams solving real problems today.

  4. Today

    The founders are still here

    Three of the original founders are still actively involved, so you get continuity, deep know-how and a long-term view.

Research

The minds behind the technology

Our technology grew out of years of university research. These are some of the people who shaped it and still help steer it. We also work closely with Aalborg University, a partnership that goes back to our research roots.

Leadership

Owned and led for the long term

NanoPing is privately held. Our shareholders are here for the long run and care about steady growth and solid technology.

The company is run by an experienced team with a strong record in deep tech and in shipping products. Mikkel Robin Nielsen leads day-to-day operations as CEO, with Morten V. Pedersen as CTO. Both are hands-on leaders who know the field in depth.

The board is chaired by Giustino de Sanctis, one of the majority owners, so owners, management and long-term plans all point the same way.
