Smart phones and tablets have dramatically changed the way enterprises conduct business. From a lawyer accessing client information on an iPad, to an intelligence team analyzing mission-critical data, to a doctor downloading medical images, or a journalist in the field publishing a top news story right from his phone, any number of mobile scenarios are in use every day by people facing tight deadlines. The applications that enable these use cases and workflows all share a common challenge: they rely on traditional transport over wireless networks that have inconsistent quality (high delay and packet loss) and are unreliable.

Aspera’s fasp™ technology breaks the bottleneck in traditional transport technologies, enabling highly efficient and reliable transfers of files any size over any IP network, including today's pervasive mobile data and broadband wireless networks, regardless of network conditions and distance. Many companies around the world are already using the existing Aspera mobile software and solutions to perform high-speed uploads and downloads from remote locations, and now with the new faspex™ iOS app, users can distribute, share and exchange video and imagery files of any size using the intuitive faspex™ e-mail style workflow.

Aspera faspex™ app for iPhone and iPad The faspex™ app for the Apple iPhone and iPad is optional client software for Aspera faspex™ Server specifically designed for mobile devices running Apple's iOS operating system. Users can distribute and share any content generated or stored on the device by initiating a high-speed fasp™ transfer to any recipient using the faspex™ email-style workflow, adapted to the style of the familiar iOS email app. With the mobile app, faspex™ users and 3rd parties can also download content sent via any other faspex™ workflow: mobile recipients automatically receive notifications of new content available for download. The data is transferred over the user's wireless network with Aspera fasp™ for maximum efficiency, and full use of the available bandwidth for both maximum speed and protection of other traffic. Downloaded content (video or imagery) can be viewed inline or stored on the device directly to the Gallery.
		Fully interoperable with Aspera faspex™ Mobile users can send content via faspex™ to any recipient, including faspex™ users accounts, workgroups and any 3rd party with a valid email address. Recipients are automatically notified and can receive the content via any faspex™ means - browser using Aspera Connect, email using the Aspera Outlook add-in, automatic download to the desktop using Aspera Cargo, or mobile download using the Aspera iOS app. For example, users coming from a standard browser and email client on a laptop or desktop receive a standard faspex™ email with a download link to the attachments. Recipients simply click on the download link to initiate a high-speed download using Aspera Connect. Recipients running the Aspera Cargo automatic downloader can automatically receive the packages on their desktop or laptop. Users running the Aspera outlook add-in receive the files as attachment links within Outlook.
Universal, integrated, iOS app The single app supports both iPad and iPhone devices, taking specific advantages of each device’s characteristics like screen sizes and user interfaces differences, allowing the app to “make sense” to your users regardless of which device type they are on. Fully integrated with the common media-related apps and functions on the devices, particularly the Photo Gallery, downloaded picture and video content can be copied to the library in a single click, and photos and videos can be sent directly from the library.

High-speed fasp™ transfers for iPad and iPhone

• Your iOS transfers are powered by fasp™ — packages are sent at high-speed, regardless of file sizes, transfer distance, or network conditions.

• Precise bandwidth control ensures the entire available bandwidth is utilized to achieve maximum transfer speeds, while being fair to other network traffic.

• Complete security with built-in with endpoint authentication, encryption, and data integrity verification.

• Reliable, with automatic retry and resume of interrupted transfers, and with end-to-end transfer progress monitoring and reporting, and real-time bandwidth prioritization control from within the app and on the faspex server, and from Console, a centralized web-based transfer management and reporting application.
  

Easy to use native iOS app

• Users will find it easy and intuitive to use the app to compose, send and receive faspex™ packages. A single universal app supports both iPad and iPhone devices, while taking specific advantages of each device’s characteristics like screen sizes, and user interface differences, allowing the app to “make sense” to your users regardless of which device type they are on.

• For video and picture content, thumbnails are shown for downloaded assets and for packages being composed to be sent. This helps the user ensure that they are working with the right assets.

• The user can save packages that are being composed in the common Drafts folder, allowing them to work on the package at the leisure, without having to concern themselves with completing it all at once.
  

Fully integrated with iOS and the photo gallery

• The application interfaces with the photo library (accessed via the Photos app). Downloaded picture and video content can be copied to the library, and packages being composed can include content from the library. Content placed in to the library can then also be accessed by library-aware apps on the device.

• Users can access the device camera directly to shoot pictures and include them immediately in the delivery, without having to leave the app.
  

• Aspera faspex™ is fully supported — packages originating from a faspex™ server or other faspex™ clients can be downloaded at high-speed by the recipient directly from an iPad or iPhone using the faspex™ iOS app.

• The app can send standard faspex™ packages from the device to any recipient. Packages can be downloaded by the recipient using any faspex™ client, or any browser using Aspera Connect browser plug-in.

• Recipients with a faspex™ account and Aspera Cargo can have attachments automatically downloaded to their desktop.
  
  

Complete Security

• If called for by the faspex™ server, package contents are encrypted, over-the-wire.

• The sender may choose when and to whom to distribute the secret, and thus prevent unauthorized users from accessing the content, and control when recipients are able to decrypt the downloaded content.

• The sending user can also call for the content to be encrypted with the Aspera “encryption-at-rest” feature, and such packages remain encrypted in the faspex™ server and are decrypted on the fly when downloaded by the recipient using the iOS faspex™ Client, Aspera Add-in for Outlook, Connect browser plug-in, or Cargo downloader.

• Includes the complete Aspera fasp security model, which provides for secure authentication, encryption of the data using strong cryptography, per-packet integrity verification to protect against man-in-the-middle compromise, and is FIPS-140 2 compliant.
