How Channel Bonding Works

Channel Bonding makes it possible to spread individual data packets amongst multiple internet connections, such as Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, wired Ethernet, tethered smartphones, Starlink and other satellite. By splitting all your web traffic at the packet-level, even large transfers, like live streaming videos and uploading and downloading files, can be given a major speed boost!

This is accomplished by first using the Speedify software to establish a connection with a Speed Server in the cloud. This Speed Server acts as a middleman between you and the rest of the internet. The Speedify client software then works in tandem with the Speed Server to intelligently divide your internet traffic and deliver the combined speed of all available internet connections.

Speedify's Channel Bonding Adds Security, Efficiency and Flexibility

Speedify’s Channel Bonding technology doesn't just bring you speed and reliability for live streaming, video conferencing, online gaming and web browsing. It also provides

Security and online privacy: Speedify has VPN encryption capabilities and securely combines multiple internet connections so that no one can eavesdrop on your online traffic. You can be sure your private browsing data is safe.
Efficiency: Most connection aggregation solutions aren’t intelligent. They blindly split internet traffic over each network connection (Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink, satellite, etc.) in a “round robin” manner, like dealing cards in a card game. Speedify’s smart Channel Bonding technology is able to detect the capabilities of each network connection. Then, it intelligently distributes the traffic so that you will get up to 95% efficiency of their combined throughput.
Flexibility: Unlike more expensive, hardware-based Channel Bonding solutions, Speedify’s Channel Bonding technology is software-based and uses cloud Speed Servers, which act as a middleman between you and the rest of the internet.
