Ubicom's unique StreamEngine® Technology sits at the heart of the platform.

Patent-pending algorithms perform "Intelligent Stream Handling," a capability that automatically manages the flow of traffic going to the Internet, without the need for user configuration. As a result, real-time interactive traffic, such as gaming, VoIP and video conferencing, are automatically given the appropriate priority when other users and applications use the network.
