PacketZoom Launches Global Mobile App Network Benchmarks, Setting expectations for Mobile App Developers and Publishers WorldwideSAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- PacketZoom, the leader in mobile app acceleration, today launched the PacketZoom Global Mobile App Network Benchmarks. This is the first global standard for mobile app developers and publishers to gauge mobile app performance across geographies and networks. PacketZoom will publish monthly benchmarks analyzing global data for mobile app performance across 2G, 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks. "One of the greatest challenges for mobile app development has been a lack of standard metrics to measure the end user experience," says Shlomi Gian, CEO of PacketZoom. "We created global benchmarks so that developers have a performance standard to relate to when deploying applications globally." PacketZoom measured the performance of mobile apps on live cellular and Wi-Fi networks throughout October 2016 to determine countries and networks that performed the best. See our inaugural results below: Countries Leading in Adoption of Advanced Cellular Technology End user adoption of 4G cellular technology by country based on mobile application usage
Best Response Times for Mobile Apps Average round trip time from mobile app to content server as experienced by end users over cellular and WiFi networks (ms).
