Barcelona, Spain, February 13, 2006 – Flash Networks announces the release of NettGain Allegro, a major boost to the NettGain product line, providing a unified platform for improving user experience on any device over any bearer.

“There’s a boom in the variety of devices being offered, and in the types of content being offered, over the mobile web.” says Liam Galin, CEO of Flash Networks. “People expect to be connected all the time, to the same applications at the office, at home and on the move, regardless of the device they are using at these different locations. The NettGain Allegro provides an outstanding quality improvement for operators who want to ensure a smooth user experience for users on all devices, all bearers, all the time.”

The NettGain solutions by Flash Networks provide web browsing up to seven times faster than networks without NettGain. Over 40 major operators worldwide have successfully implemented the NettGain solution.

NettGain field-proven solutions have shown themselves to be robust and scalable in dozens of live installations worldwide. All traffic passes through the NettGain Allegro system, which uses an intelligent underlying logic to determine the optimal way to process data to create the best possible quality of experience and fastest perceived response time from the network. NettGain Allegro provides support for web, portal, email and other types of content on the mobile web.

“The revolutionary improvement in the NettGain system comes from its underlying intelligence and real-time decision making capabilities,” said Yair Shapira, Flash Networks’ CTO. “The system is aware of network conditions and has deep insight and logic in the area of applications, so the user simply gets the best possible service at any given time for any given type of data.”
