Features
Movila Detection offers unique features that you do not find in other products. Our product is developed with high performance in mind and it is the fastest device detection software that exists in the market.
Multiple contents from a single URL
With Movila Detection it is possible to serve multiple contents from a single URL. It means that different content can be served to, for example, mobile phones and PC web browsers. With existing mobile portals or sites etc, it can be made easily sure that the user always receives the mobile version of it, no matter what URL the user uses.
Utilization of device features in content optimization
Movila Detection includes an embedded device repository which makes device based optimization easily possible in content management systems.
Embedded device repository
Devices' features and capabilities are found from an embedded device repository. The repository contains features of thousands of mobile devices.
The embedded device repository features state-of-the-art data structures and algorithms. Many keys can be used when searching the multikey data structure, not limiting the search only on the User-Agent HTTP header. Also, for a previously unknown device, a closest match can be searched using all the available HTTP header information.
Easy browser interface for administrative control
With the web browser interface you can add domains, set rules for each domain, check the status of Movila Detection and do all the necessary modifications needed for device detection. After installation you only need to use a browser for configurations. Even the restarting of the software can be done via browser.

Automatic updates
There is no need for updating files or keeping track of updates. Movila Detection updates itself automatically. Of course, if needed, updates can be done manually as well.
Fastest detection
Movila Detection is built with the performance as the most important criterion. Average detection takes less than 500 microseconds.
High throughput
Besides the speed, Movila Detection features high throughput allowing thousands of simultaneous connections.
Realible multi-process architecture
Best practices are used in programming the software. Still, Movila Detection features some precautions to be able to function in high-availability environments. Movila Detection continuously monitors its internal state and does many health check procedures to itself. In case of a problem, it can restart itself minimizing the downtime.
Cross-platform usage as a proxy or web server plugin
Movila Detection is a truly cross-platform software, it works in many operating systems and environments. Movila Detection can be used in two ways. Either as an Apache plugin or as a proxy. In both cases the software has functionally the same features. Plugin mode works with Apache web server only, but with the proxy mode Movila Detection is compatible with any web server that speaks HTTP 1.1, which means, basically, all the current web server software available.
Spoon feeding
Movila Detection saves web server's resources, because the program that generates the web page does not need to stay open until the user agent has completed the transfer. This is especially useful in the case of slow user agents.
URL rewrite
Movila Detection is more than just a device detection software. With the browser interface it is easy to make URL rewrites in realtime, without the complexity of mod_write and .htaccess files. Regular expressions are also supported.
Possibility to block files, filetypes or folders from detection
With Movila Detection all the HTTP requests can detected and handled without noticeable latency. Still, it is possible to block certain files, filetypes or folders from detection. This is handy in the case of, e.g., image or stylesheet files.
Bot recognition
With Movila Detection it is possible to recognize bots and crawlers from other traffic. This feature makes it possible to prevent certain content from showing to such entities and it is often used in the case of advertising or statistics.
Easy installation
Movila Detection is easy to install. After installation, by default, Movila Detection does nothing to the HTTP traffic, needed modifications and parameters can be added later on-the-fly through the web interface. See requirements for more information.
