How It Works : ARTR
Airdocs EFA uses a proprietary technology to transfer files called ARTR (or Adaptive Redundant Transfer Reduction). ARTR takes a revolutionary approach to file transfer.

Rather than simply trying to compress a file that must be transferred across a slow link, it attempts to perform the network equivalent of data teleportation.

In practice, this means that the Airdocs software on the source side of the link tells the Airdocs software on the destination side of the link how to recreate the file at the destination using pieces of data that it already has access to.

If this sounds complex it is - ARTR is a sophisticated system that uses an artificial intelligence engine to finger locations on the destination computer and network where suitable components of data might exist.

Of course, in the end those parts of the file data that cannot be found or accessed at the destination must still be transmitted across the connection as normal, albeit in a compressed form.

However, not only does the system perform its calculations in just a few seconds, but in typical file sharing scenarios it can provide users with effective compression ratios of up to 1:1000.

Another benefit of ARTR is that broken upload and download operations are restartable, as previously transferred data can be found in the destination cache.

ARTR represents the most sophisticated file transfer technology on the market today.
