  3. What is Momentum TurboSurf Accelerator? Momentum TurboSurf Accelerator is a subscription-based service for dial-up users that speeds up the delivery of static and dynamic Web pages across the entire Internet, including the last mile. This is accomplished through the use of Momentum TurboSurf’s patented Web-acceleration technology.

  4. Client/Server Architecture Accelerator Client: • Implemented as a local proxy, that runs in the background on a user’s machine • Decodes the encoded/compressed data from the Acceleration Network • Performs intelligent cache management • Optimizes the TCP/IP connection with the Acceleration Network • Fail-over mechanism will bypass the Acceleration Network should service be interrupted Acceleration Network: • Connection management, caching, leverage page elements from the entire user base • Reliability, Availability, Scalability. Scales like Web servers. All components within the Momentum TurboSurf Network are independent; no single point of failure.

  5. How does it work? • Compression:The Acceleration Servicedelivers text and graphics more efficiently, using multiple, intelligent, patent-pending compression algorithms that encode Web pages. • Caching: Accelerator intelligently retains and re-uses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to the PC. • Optimize TCP/IP Connections: The Acceleration Serviceuses proprietary techniques to optimize the communication between Accelerator and the Network. • Optional Content Filtering: Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in page ads, which contributes to long wait times.

  6. What gets Accelerated?

  7. What can a user expect? Users will experience: • Page loads up to two times faster on first visits • Page loads three to five times faster on subsequent visits (3x average) • 90% of pages load in under 7 seconds(compared to 30% without Momentum TurboSurf) • All without additional hardware
