SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today PacketZoom announced the appointment of tech industry veteran, Shlomi Gian as CEO. This company milestone comes on the heels of a $4.3M funding round led by existing investors to scale Packetzoom and support its growing roster of clientele, including mobile gaming industry leader, Glu Mobile. "I'm delighted to be joining the talented founding team at PacketZoom," says Gian. "Chetan and John co-founded and built the industry's leading product that is solving a crucial challenge mobile publishers and developers face, the user experience. If an app performs poorly users don't blame the mobile network where 70% of latency resides, they just abandon the app. With PacketZoom technology mobile apps enjoy unprecedented speed and reliability and that translates into improved user retention and engagement for our customers." Over the past three years Packetzoom has engineered a new way to accelerate content delivery that is two to three times faster than conventional methods. PacketZoom does this through several features that address roadblocks in how mobile data is transmitted through carrier and WiFi networks, commonly referred to as the mobile last mile. "Glu Mobile is continuously searching for technologies that improve the experience of the games we publish," says Tim Wilson, Glu Mobile's Global CTO. "Game interactivity and network connectivity are parameters that every mobile game company need to play close attention to. PacketZoom's technology was fast and easy to integrate and delivered an improved player experience to our iOS and Android users."
