Speedify
The channel bonding technology powering Miri's multi-WAN solutions
Speedify is a software-defined intelligent internet connection bonding technology. Integrated directly into miriOS, it is the core component that allows the Miri X510 to combine 5G, 4G, Wifi, Ethernet and satellite into a single stable and performant uplink.
What is it exactly?
Channel bonding aggregates several Internet connections to produce a single faster and more resilient link. Where naive solutions alternate packets between links in turn (round-robin, like dealing cards), Speedify continuously measures latency, packet loss and effective throughput on each connection, then distributes packets in proportion to their capacity.
Speedify claims up to 95% efficiency of the theoretical sum of throughputs, where a basic round-robin would lose up to 90% of usable throughput when links are imbalanced (for example fibre 1 Gbps + 4G 50 Mbps).
The architecture relies on two components: a Speedify client on the endpoint (PC, smartphone or miriOS router for Miri solutions), and a cloud Speed Server that reassembles packets scattered across the various links before forwarding them to the Internet. Speedify operates more than 50 Speed Servers worldwide, including one in Paris for the French market.
The three operating modes
A single Speedify license unlocks three distinct modes that address different use cases. The choice of mode depends on the deployment context and the constraints of the end client.
Bonding
- Description
- Packet-level aggregation of all links
- Speed Server transit
- Yes
- Public IP preserved
- No (Speed Server IP)
- Consumes the bonded data cap
- Yes
- Main benefit
- Throughput sum on a single flow
- Typical use case
- Live streaming, IRL, ENG, mobile capture
Load Balancing
- Description
- Per-flow distribution based on load
- Speed Server transit
- No
- Public IP preserved
- Yes
- Consumes the bonded data cap
- No
- Main benefit
- No latency overhead
- Typical use case
- Mobile office with multiple services
Failover
- Description
- Sub-second switchover to a secondary link
- Speed Server transit
- No
- Public IP preserved
- Yes
- Consumes the bonded data cap
- No
- Main benefit
- Guaranteed service continuity
- Typical use case
- Main wired site backed up by satellite
What sets Speedify apart
Speedify positions itself as a software-defined alternative to dedicated hardware broadcast bonding solutions (LiveU, Teradek, Peplink, Mushroom Networks). Beyond the avoided hardware cost, several features are specific to the software approach.
Pair & Share
Up to 20 smartphones can share their cellular connection to the router via the Speedify app. Combined with the 7 direct connections of the Miri X510, this raises to 27 the number of simultaneous links possible on a single capture point. A strong argument for high-density live events or mobile production units.
Streaming QoS
Speedify automatically detects the flows of major live streaming platforms (Twitch, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, TikTok, Zoom, Teams, OBS, Streamlabs, vMix, Wirecast) and assigns them transmission priority. No manual configuration required.
Self-hosted Speed Server
Option to host your own Speed Server for clients concerned with data sovereignty or who need a controlled fixed IP. Particularly relevant for public organisations, defence or regulated contexts.
Multi-platform
Speedify exists on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android (on the endpoint side) in addition to the miriOS integration on the router side. A single account allows the use of up to 5 devices simultaneously.
Broadcast and AV use cases
The typical contexts where Speedify and Miri routers are deployed in France:
Live event streaming (IRL)
Mobile outdoor capture with no fixed infrastructure: festivals, trade shows, mobile sports broadcasts. Bonding mode to combine 5G, 4G and satellite (Starlink) into a single high-throughput link.
Mobile control room and ENG reporting
OB vans, news crews, simultaneous multi-site captures. Stable connection on the move, transparent switchover between cellular operators.
Places of worship and performance halls
Permanent streaming to YouTube Live, Facebook Live or specialised platforms. Configuration with primary Ethernet WAN secured by a satellite link in Failover mode: service continuity in case of wired network outage.
Hybrid Starlink + cellular backup
Remote sites where Starlink is the primary connection but may suffer interruptions linked to weather or obstacles. Bonding or Failover mode depending on the need, combining Starlink + local 4G/5G operator.
Latency in France
The closest Speedify Speed Server for the French market is located in Paris. The latency overhead added by transit through the Speed Server is 10 to 30 ms on top of baseline cellular latency.
Concretely, with a 4G/5G link that typically shows an RTT of 90 to 150 ms to the Internet, going through Speedify in Bonding mode brings one-way latency to 110 to 170 ms before application buffering. This latency remains fully compatible with:
- Remote PTZ control (asynchronous commands tolerant up to 200 ms one-way)
- WebRTC return video, which natively handles latency variations through adaptive buffering
- SRT live streaming with reasonable buffering (typically 500 ms to 2 s in production)
Load Balancing and Failover modes do not transit through the Speed Server: no latency overhead is added, the cellular operator's public IP is preserved, and no transit through a third-party server occurs.
License model
Speedify comes in two distinct license families: Individuals (for client apps on PC, Mac, smartphones) and Router (for miriOS routers and other Speedify-compatible routers).
Router license (for the Miri X510)
Required to activate the multi-WAN functions of the Miri X510. A single license unlocks all three modes (Bonding, Load Balancing, Failover). Two bonded data cap levels: 1 TB per month and 3 TB per month, monthly or annual billing.
Important bonus: any active Router license includes a free Individuals license for 5 additional devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android). Automatically renewed at no cost as long as the Router license remains active.
Purchase directly on speedify.com/store or via the Miri shop (shop.miri.tech). In a HoriCast context, the license is typically provisioned by Miri when the router is delivered.
Individuals license (client apps only)
To use Speedify on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android without a dedicated router. Pricing from USD 14.99 per month on monthly, around USD 89.99 per year on annual, up to USD 179.99 for 3 years depending on the commitment chosen. Free tier limited to 2 GB of data per month.
Free 7-day trial available on iOS only. 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans.
Indicative pricing in USD, subject to change. Official reference: speedify.com/store.
