The product is designed specifically to improve performance over networks with limited bandwidth, latency and high packet loss, including 3G wireless, DSL, and satellite. The architecture detects network conditions and application protocols in real time and employs the most effective techniques to speed user performance.

“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping shape better products and services,” says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. “AcceleNet is bringing application performance improvements to serve the growing trend of remote and mobile workforces.”

“We are honored that AcceleNet has gained the Network Products Guide Reader Trust recognition,” said Michael Slygh, ICT president. “ICT is truly revolutionizing software-based WAN acceleration. Hardware-based acceleration helps large corporate offices, but deprives branch office, home office, and mobile workers of the same benefits.
