Cotendo announced the launch of its purpose-built Mobile Acceleration Suite (MAS). This new suite extends Cotendo's powerful existing Web acceleration services to dramatically speed up delivery of mobile websites and mobile applications. With MAS, Cotendo now delivers reliable and high-performance acceleration for content to any device on any network in any location in the world. For content providers, latency on mobile devices is one of the top revenue killers. Long page-load times reduce conversions and engagement with applications or sites. Designed from the ground up to accelerate mobile content and to integrate effortlessly with Cotendo's widely used and customer proven content acceleration technologies, MAS elegantly solves latency and page-load performance problems caused by slow or variable mobile network data connectivity rates, giving mobile network operators, Website operators, and enterprise application developers a new way to ensure their content arrives faster and more reliably than ever to end users' handsets.

MAS achieves this remarkable result without any required modifications to the origin site such as creation of separate Web sites or infrastructure dedicated to mobile content. The MAS suite applies optimizations to speed up mobile content delivery at the logic, content and network layers. These services are available for deployment and are presently operating in numerous customer production environments. Deployments to date have resulted in radical improvements in mobile content delivery performance even for extremely dynamic content that has traditionally choked legacy CDNs and stymied other specialized mobile content delivery offerings. "While using Cotendo services we've seen up to a 33 percent performance improvement on our site. That's huge because our customers expect instant response when downloading apps to their handsets," said Allan Moger, Operations Manager for GetJar, the world's largest open app and entertainment store for smartphones with 2 billion downloads to date. "Aside from the performance benefits, we chose to use Cotendo services because they understand the importance of the mobile space and are ahead of the curve in improving services for the mobile industry."

Cotendo's Mobile Acceleration Suite offers mobile-specific solutions that also leverage the company's other innovative services for content acceleration, including Dynamic Site Acceleration, CDN Load Balancing, Advanced DNS services, and the unique Cloudlet Platform -- the first CDN-integrated High Performance Cloud Application Environment.
