“With the projected growth of the mobile advertising market, we favored a more deeply integrated solution with our web server that delivered even greater performance. We were thrilled to find ScientiaMobile’s WURFL InFuze helped us achieve these goals.”

Leading mobile ad network MobFox announced today it has installed ScientiaMobile’s high-performance device detection solution, WURFL InFuze for Apache. With this solution, MobFox has adopted a new architecture that boosts its responsiveness to ad requests, scales its infrastructure more efficiently, and increases its capability to target advertisements to the latest smartphones and tablets.

MobFox’s CEO, Julian Zehetmayr, commented: “The mobile advertising market is increasing dramatically as smartphones and tablets are becoming the most popular way to view web content. In the past, we used ScientiaMobile’s WURFL OnSite API. But with the projected growth, we favored a solution that was more deeply integrated with our web server and delivered even greater performance. We were thrilled to find ScientiaMobile’s WURFL InFuze helped us achieve these goals.”

ScientiaMobile’s products are built on its industry-leading Device Description Repository (DDR), known for its accuracy and timely updates. WURFL InFuze products rely on a fast C++ API to enrich the application context with WURFL device capabilities. It injects device capabilities directly into HTTP request headers or presents them as Environment Variables, so any application can leverage the information without the latency that comes when querying a DDR through higher-level languages.

Steve Kamerman, COO of ScientiaMobile, said: “For MobFox, we drastically reduced the number of WURFL installations and boosted performance at the same time. The WURFL InFuze for Apache module is a great fit for the high-volume, low-latency environment of mobile advertising.”

MobFox leverages device detection in two phases. First, device detection enables MobFox to accurately assess and serve advertising content that is dimensioned correctly for requests coming from publishers for smartphones and tablets. Second, MobFox leverages the WURFL device data to gauge campaign effectiveness by device. Through data warehousing of campaign results, MobFox adjusts mid-campaign to further improve campaign performance.

“We are happy with ScientiaMobile’s new solution,” stated MobFox’s Zehetmayr. “We look forward to leveraging ScientiaMobile’s new capabilities as we bring more innovation to mobile advertising.”
