Aurora Mobile Limited (NASDAQ: JG) (“Aurora Mobile” or the “Company”), a leading provider of customer engagement and marketing technology services in China, today announced that its JPush SDK has passed the test and evaluation of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (“CAICT”) for push notification service’s high-performance persistent connection, and received a related certificate. This test and evaluation program involves various tests on traffic, service stability, network robustness and others, and it is a part of CAICT’s Foundation Plan to help enterprises carry out high-quality digital transformation.
Mobile internet service is now a fundamental service related to national economic and social development, and it is also important for various industries to explore digital transformation which has a profound impact on the country’s economic and security condition. However, the development of the mobile internet requires not only investment by operators, but also a reasonable, effective and restrained use of network resources by network users. A persistent connection, meaning one connection can be used to transmit multiple requests and response messages between a terminal and a server, is a common method for continuous data interaction in an IP network and enables data transmission anytime and anywhere. Compared with a non-persistent connection, a persistent connection significantly reduces the cost and time spent on HTTP connections.
However, maintaining persistent connections requires continuous consumption of network resources. With the development of mobile internet services, a large number of applications using low-performance persistent connections have resulted in a huge burden to mobile networks, wasting precious wireless spectrum resources. From the user’s point of view, low-performance persistent connections will cause a waste of system resources of mobile terminals, waste of electricity, network lag and other problems. At present, with the upgrading of the domestic consumer market, consumers pay more attention to the terminal experience. Therefore, it is very important to encourage developers to use high-performance persistent connection services. This can not only make full use of terminals performance but also improve user experience.
Aurora Mobile’s JPush SDK can fully satisfy developers’ demand for high-performance persistent connections. Going forward, the Company will continue to cooperate with CAICT to support and promote the digital transformation and upgrade of various industries and enterprises.
