TRU-Flow™ is a patent-pending algorithm to ensure the fastest possible throughput for our end users with or without a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.

User Scenarios
  • Situations where upload congestion can cause download data throughput to be significantly reduced; For example, web surfing in parallel with an FTP Upload transfer, web pages load slowly.
  • When applications send data faster than the modem can respond, backlog is created. Congestion results in slow speeds and latency delays.
  • Independent upload and download speeds are typically used as benchmarks when comparing products. However simultaneous upload and download transfers are more representative of the real user experience.
TRU-Flow Solution
  • A patent-pending algorithm to ensure the fastest possible performance with or without VPN.
  • Continually monitors IP traffic congestion, Round-Trip-Time (RTT), and data throughputs to optimize overall upload and download throughput.
  • Unique firmware, provides intelligent "umbrella" protection
    • Where no or inadequate application congestion control is already present (eg. Sending files via FTP, VPN or specific web apps like YouTube),
    • Manages data traffic to maximize speed and minimize stalling or pausing,
    • Compatible with existing VPN technologies.
  • The only technology in the world to improve web page load times during uplink congestion even with a VPN enabled.
  • Now available on new CDMA USB modems, Express/PC cards, and Embedded Modules.
  • Deployed on the UMTS product line in 2007.
TRU-Flow Performance*
  • When there is uplink congestion, TRU-Flow technology
    • theoretically capable of 9X increase in download throughput,
    • an average 100% increase in downlink throughput performance in field tests,
    • an average 100% improvement in web page load times,
    • a greater than 100% reduction in Round Trip Time (RTT),
    • compatibility with or without VPN enabled.
  • There is NO degradation in downlink or uplink performance when there is no congestion.
  • Results are consistent on all UMTS and EVDO networks.

* Improvements vary depending on signal conditions.
