A new technology enables faster downloads from wireless networks

FASP-AIR, the new mobile telecommunications company Aspera, will offer wireless Internet transfers at speeds greater than hitherto permitted the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This device will be released in the middle of this year and will be available for i-Phone. By Amalia Rodriguez Scientific Trends.

Until now, the speed of data transfer over the Internet on mobile devices could be exasperating because of its slowness. The person responsible for this is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP, in its English acronym of Transmission Control Protocol), a leading communication protocols of the network of networks that was designed before the proliferation of wireless connections.

Used to send and receive data without errors and in the same order they were transmitted, when these data do not reach their destination either by overloading the network or due to poor wireless signal strength, the TCP transfer rate limits thus causing a slowdown of data downloads and uploads.

Aware of this problem, the company Aspera has created an alternative protocol they have called FASP-AIR. This application will reach higher speeds than TCP without losing information, making it ideal for data transfer to be complete and reach their destination intact.

"We are expanding our range of software to provide faster downloads to mobile users," says Michelle Munson, Aspera President and Co-founder in this press release. "Additionally, this technology will further increase the performance of computer users who need to rely on wireless connections for data transfers.
Features FASP-AIR

Now, FASP protocol (Fast And Secure Protocol) is used to increase transfer speed Internet, hence part of the name chosen to describe this new application. FASP-AIR is the result of several months of research and development which have validated the features of this innovative transportation technology that will operate under the conditions of demand for wireless networks.

Their primary hallmark is the improvement in both the operational and the transmission speed of loading and unloading devices and 3G LTE, ie, Long Term Evolution, known as the fourth generation mobile.

The FASP-AIR technology also enables full utilization of available bandwidth, regardless of any delays, losses and network hops, achieving returns well above the rate of TCP, namely triplicate.

Available for i-Phone

At first, FASP-AIR is available as a further application for iPhone, as the company announced in this press release issued a few days ago on their website.

Thus, movie downloads from a Web server, known as streaming, may be faster, provided the user and the server using this software as the company does Amazon.
