AirZip Accelerator Engine

Patented image acceleration for your own products.

The Accelerator Engine is the core of AirZip's image technology — and the compression layer inside FileSECURE. It is available to OEMs and corporate customers with image-intensive environments who want to build proven acceleration into their own applications.

Key benefits

  • 50–400% faster image download times.
  • 50–200% faster image rendering on the receiving device.
  • 50–80% reduction in image storage requirements.
  • Longer mobile-device battery life; leverages standard web infrastructure.

How it works

Without AirZip software on the client, the Engine uses intelligent optimisation heuristics to deliver 50–100% better acceleration of JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF and BMP images with minimal quality loss. With AirZip software on the client, it uses AirZip's proprietary, patented AZV format for up to 400% faster delivery and faster on-device rendering.

Typical applications

  • Scanned-document storage, distribution and viewing.
  • Mapping, telematics and location services.
  • Web and wireless acceleration gateways.
  • Multimedia messaging and mobile enterprise platforms.

Delivery

Supplied as thread-safe C++ and JNI libraries for integration into application servers, together with an SDK of encode/decode libraries for client, mobile and embedded applications. Contact us for currently supported platforms and licensing terms.
