With a simple software package installed transparently on their laptops or desktops, Steelhead Mobile can overcome the challenges of variable locations, inconsistent links, and high-latency environments that all conspire against mobile workers.
Steelhead Mobile works by interacting directly with any Steelhead appliance to optimise applications the same way in which steelhead devices would work together.


For end-users, applications and collaboration work exactly the same - simply much faster. No changes are required to applications or the normal processes that workers are used to. IT managers do not need to make any changes to servers, routers, VPN infrastructure, or any of the other key technology in their enterprise. In fact, IT managers can control whether or not end-users see anything at all (like the Steelhead Mobile system tray icon), or if they want Steelhead Mobile to be completely invisible to the end-users.
The only thing that mobile users will be aware of is the benefits, with reduced data charges from bandwidth reduction of 85-99%, and application acceleration 8x to up to 100x for applications like the Oracle E-Business Suite, Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Exchange 2007.
