2001 - Founded
Barix AG is founded 2001 in Zürich, Switzerland by Johannes Rietschel. It all started with digital audio encoders and decoders for professional applications such as background music in retail. To set this into relation: 2001 is the year Apple introduces the first iPod product. The success of the following years will have much to do with Barix’s intuitive engineeringstyle and reliable implementation of products that solve the real-world challenges in a pragmatic way.

2004 - First Success
Back in 2004, radio broadcasting does mostly rely on expensive analog equipment which required highly trained, specified technicians. Barix is among the first which brings the IP technology into the broadcast market at a much lower price point, changing it forever. Many smaller radio stations and event venues are able, for the first time, to use advanced radio technology themselves and stream their message to the local communities. As a result, the company grows into an established worldwide organization that distributes its technology over a network of authorized resellers.
