The PubNub Real-Time Network
Powers Apps that Change the World

Thousands of mobile, web, and desktop apps rely on the PubNub Real-Time Network to deliver highly scalable real-time experiences to tens of millions of users worldwide. Around the world, from innovative start-ups to globally recognized brands, PubNub is powering a broad variety of apps: effective real-time advertising campaigns, global telecommunications apps, immersive Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs), responsive social apps, real-time ecommerce applications, and a variety of business collaborative solutions.

The PubNub Real-Time Network spans eleven data centers worldwide and is designed to connect everyone on the earth in under ¼ second. As the only globally distributed and redundant real-time network, PubNub helps companies dramatically reduce the cost, complexity, and time to deliver large-scale real-time experiences.

When you connect your app to the PubNub Real-Time Network you get instant access to all the core building blocks you need for any real-time app. These core real-time services include Unicast (one-to-one) and Broadcast (one-to-many) Data Channels, Presence, Storage/Playback Service, Real-Time Visualization, and many others. The PubNub Real-Time Network lets you build real-time functionality that works on any device without long development times, specialized development and ops teams, expensive implementations and disruptive reliability issues, all protected by solid security.

Best of all, the PubNub Real-Time Network is extremely easy-to-use. In the past, development of real-time applications was difficult. There were numerous protocols to learn, capability trade-offs between languages and hackish workarounds to master. Scaling real-time technology used to be an expensive, complex proposition. Not any more. PubNub is protocol independent and supports over 50 SDKs including iOS, Android, JavaScript, Python, Ruby on Rails, C# and many more. And the PubNub Real-Time Network has scaled to support the world’s largest audiences.
