Enterprises are deploying mobile devices for content acquisition, remote data collection, review and approval, and distribution. Any number of mobile scenarios may be in use among industries such as news & information collection, sports coverage, defense & intelligence, mapping for GIS, healthcare, web 2.0, and others.
A common challenge among all industries: moving remote data sets over wireless networks of varying speeds, conditions, and quality. Transmitting data over wireless IP networks is unreliable or impossible using conventional TCP-based approaches like HTTP or FTP. Worse, using TCP, transfers perform unpredictably, slowing or failing at the worst possible moment: during periods of peak usage or when information is needed most—under deadline and in support of time-sensitive or mission-critical business.
Mobile solutions built on Aspera Mobile eliminate this problem, vastly improving the speed, predictability, and control of mobile uploading, downloading, and distribution—providing granular device-based adaptive rate control, centralized management, ease of use, and modular platform extensibility for device and workflow integration.
Aspera Mobile may be deployed without modification on clients and servers, or customized through an extensible platform SDK to integrate with mobile device operating systems and workflows. All mobile users and transfers are centrally tracked and managed through Aspera Console, a rich reporting and management system.
Users interact with the same familiar devices, in a variety of form factors (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.). An Aspera client application is installed on the device operating systems, such as Apple iOS, Google Android, or Windows. The server platform uses Aspera Connect Server, licensed for mobile use.

-
Aspera Console provides a single point of management for uploads, downloads, and transfer management.
-
Aspera SDK provides comprehensive development tool kit for Aspera Mobile client device and workflow configuration.
-
Aspera Mobile Apps for Apple iOS and Google Android.
-
Aspera Clients for laptops running Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, and other platforms are also available.
What's Unique
-
Location-independent transport, fasp-AIR™—purpose-built for wireless: At the heart of Aspera Mobile is Apsera’s patented, high-speed, location-agnostic transport, fasp-AIR™, purpose-builtfor wireless deployments enabling full utilization of bandwidth, adaptive rate control, complete security, and predictable performance under the most extreme network conditions.
-
10x Performance Gains: Aspera transfers are up to 10x faster than TCP over 4G for upload and download, and also faster over 3G.
-
Predictability: A remote transfer achieves predictable rate control, and may be configured to receive higher network throughput and delivery priorities than a TCP-based users.
-
Centralized control and reporting: All transfers can be managed centrally by one user, tracked, monitored, and controlled.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
"I'm in China with the Canada swimming team sending back video every day for two weeks from the World Aquatics Championships. Using Aspera’s mobile app for iPhone from our hotel in Shanghai, I'm getting upload speeds between 3 and 10 Mbps every day. It's awesome! I did a test to an FTP server back in the US and FTP topped out at 10 Kbps! Well done Aspera!"
