PacketZoom announced a completely re-envisioned Mobile Speed as a Service (MSaaS) platform that addresses mobile app users need for speed.
The service, designed specifically for mobile app developers, speeds up app content download time from the cloud by up to 10 times.
The PacketZoom service retires the 40 year-old TCP protocol, leveraging a new protocol that identifies the device as the address for data packets and easily accommodates for the intermittent nature of mobile connections in an intelligent, fault-tolerant way. The underlying PacketZoom protocol eliminates legacy network techniques that have been critical to mobile-network operation but delay content delivery including DNS lookups, three-way TCP handshakes, slow starts, and aggressive back-off to reduce packet loss.
PacketZoom also handles connections differently than legacy protocols, which consider the device’s IP address as the destination for data packets. By identifying the device itself, and not its IP address, PacketZoom easily accommodates for the intermittent nature of mobile connections in an intelligent, fault-tolerant manner, ensuring continuous connectivity as any mobile device moves across networks.
And because the PacketZoom protocol incorporates sophisticated “situational awareness,” it always knows a device’s location, tracks dead zones, and recognizes packet drops and other critical factors in real time.
All these capabilities are provided through the PacketZoom stack without any client or service side code changes.
PacketZoom is designed to work particularly well in low-bandwidth networks or areas with spotty coverage.
To leverage the PacketZoom service, mobile app developers simply drag and drop the PacketZoom Speed SDK into their app, which immediately provides unprecedented speeds for downloading cloud content.
App developers can quickly integrate PacketZoom’s Mobile Speed as a Service via a drag-and-drop SDK, eliminating the need involved changes to the app. PacketZoom developed the SDK in response to challenges of native mobile app development.
“Every mobile app developer knows that the fate of their app is based on the user experience which drives loyalty to their app,” said Chetan Ahuja, CEO of PacketZoom. “Unfortunately, too many apps miss their chance at mass adoption because slow data downloads kill the user experience. Our early traction with app developers like The ArtStack, Fluik Entertainment, Frenzoo, Proletariat, Top 10 and Voltage shows that this is a real problem for developers of all sizes, all around the world. As more companies move to take down websites and move their users to mobile apps, performance is more important than ever.”
