How DeviceAtlas patents help you

Ultra-fast device detection

DeviceAtlas’ patented algorithm allows for extremely high speeds afforded by a PATRICIA Trie, with the flexibility to accommodate the reality that you cannot have prior knowledge of all devices on the market. Read more

Stable, robust APIs

Customers using DeviceAtlas can rest assured that its API is highly extensible and will never interfere with existing deployments. Read more

Highly-optimized data file footprint

DeviceAtlas’ API can operate in as little as 15MB of RAM with its data loaded. Even with this minute footprint, sub-microsecond lookups are achievable on modest hardware. Read more

Exceptional accuracy

Accuracy is central to DeviceAtlas IP. Its algorithms maximize accuracy by quantifying data points from multiple sources. Its aggregated database has wide coverage of different territories. Read more

Globally deployed and trusted


DeviceAtlas believes in the merits of the patent system to protect investment and innovation. Its IP portfolio covers both the US and Europe, making DeviceAtlas the de facto standard for device intelligence.


DeviceAtlas has been built on the design of efficient algorithms, relentlessly honed over time for high performance. This is why DeviceAtlas delivers the fastest lookups while preserving a small memory footprint and data file. DeviceAtlas delivers exceptional speed, accuracy and efficiency—no compromises.


Whether you are running an advertising platform with sub-millisecond device identification requirements, a high-traffic website, or an analytics platform processing trillions of log files, DeviceAtlas technology provides the fastest, most accurate device intelligence.
