Accelerator goes beyond just location to factor in the browser, OS and other criteria that could affect a data packet's journey.
In addition, it will have algorithms that enable it to navigate typical wireless problems like frequent data packet loss, delays and other jitters.

Picture quality will likely be sacrificed at first to keep the data downloads smaller (customers will pay by the data packet, rather than the minute).
The secure communication link is a virtual private network communication link over the computer network in which one or more data values that vary according to a pseudo-random sequence are inserted into each data packet.
Satellite, surprisingly, came out as having the best throughput although before you rush out to get satellite service remember that the roundtrip latency (the time it takes a data packet to go from your PC to its destination and for an acknowledgement to come back) over a satellite connection is often in the range of 900 milliseconds to 1, 400 milliseconds.
FORBES: FCC Broadband Performance Report Shows Improvement But Misses Big Picture
An internal retractable modem will enable a user to connect with some of the most popular wireless networks today, including Motient's DataTAC, BellSouth's Mobitex and CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data).
And it features what is called mobile Internet protocol (IP), a packet data service that requires users to pay only for the amount of data they send and receive rather than for the amount of time spent on line.
Besides lacking a camera, WiFi, GPS and even music playback (obviously), there's no color display, WAP browser, email client or T9 predictive text (which all came with the T68i), and no GPRS packet data or built-in Bluetooth (which both arrived with the T39).
Now that wide-area wireless network operators recognize Wi-Fi hotspots as complementary to their advanced packet-data networks, they will end up owning or leasing most of today's hotspots and will build out coverage.
This packet of data (usually about four kilobytes of code) is then embedded within the file, and a digital watermark is inserted into the newly created space left behind by the compression process.
In recent weeks Dr Smith and Dr Sample, working with Scott Southwood, another researcher at the University of Washington, have built a weather sensor that measures temperature and light levels and sends a packet of data every five seconds by radio.
But it can deliver that smaller packet of data with a shorter turn around time (two hours instead of as much as two weeks) and the entry cost is low enough that scientists who have shied away from DNA sequencing could buy their own PGM.
Japanese users pay by the packet for the data they use on DoCoMo's networks, but Americans, accustomed to flat-fee Net and phone deals, may balk at pay-per-use pricing that can result in month-end sticker shock.

WSJ: Facebook's New Millionaires Present Motivational Challenge
Floyd founded Efficient in 1993 with the idea of using asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), an industrial-strength packet technology, to route data around local area networks.
On the horizon, new data services such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) may make it cheaper for users to stay logged on to AIM all day.
For example, if you have two applications running on two different machines, and they are exchanging data but there is some sort of packet loss occurring, how do you figure this out?
Malware accounts for 94 percent of the records stolen, with backdoors with packet sniffers designed to send the data remotely attributable to roughly 80 percent of compromises.
FORBES: Financial Sector Accounted For 94% Of Lost Data Last Year
Pearse and others dream of unifying the mess, with a box that blends both optics and electronics, fusing the circuit-switched world of phone calls and packet-switched world of Internet data.
Akamai parks data locally to cut microseconds from the travel time each packet takes to get to where it needs to be.
It is a packet-switched technology, and only consumes network resources when data is being transmitted, so it is widely expected that customers will be charged for the amount of data they exchange, rather than the time they spend logged on to the network.
The router, called ASR-1000, allows Internet service providers (ISPs), large companies and universities to move data and integrate services that enable security, voice over Internet, deep packet inspection and the authentication of broadband flow to specific subscribers, all in a single piece of hardware.
The drive will include packet writing software for CD-RW and Cequadrat JustBurn for creating data and audio CDs.
The company has bought additional spectrum, deployed improved High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) software and added fiber backhaul, which carries data to wireless distribution points.
Analysts say enabling technologies like GPRS (a packet-networking upgrade for GSM networks) and WAP will spur the growth of data and multimedia services, as well as drive corporate use of mobile data services.
The smart phone market will only take off when technologies such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) are implemented in mobile networks, enabling faster transfer rates of data via mobile phone, she said.
