  • Same Easy-To-Use API - PubNub Mobile Push Notifications work on iOS and Android using the simple PubNub API with future support planned for Kindle, Nook and many more.
  • Segment your Audience - Slice and dice any number of topics into PubNub “Channels”, targeting user segments individually.

  • Playback messages at the same rate they were published! Use PubNub like a DVR for real-time messages.
  • The Storage/Playback Service is great for populating older messages received in chatrooms and on live feeds.

Multiplexing

When you’ve got lots of simultaneous data streams, like stock prices, sports feeds, social activity, and more, PubNub Multiplexing gives you a highly flexible way of filtering which data goes to which devices

Simply Publish all your data to PubNub into separate PubNub channels. Each device subscribes only to the channels it cares about, and all the data is streamed down a single network socket. PubNub’s servers take care of all the filtering, routing, and high speed delivery. This works seamlessly, even when data is published and subscribed across different PubNub global data centers simultaneously.

  • Reduced server cost: Offload user-specific filtering of data from your servers to PubNub
  • Reduced network bandwidth: devices only receive the info they need
  • Deliver new kinds of apps: Now that data filtering and aggregation is performed inline, you can deliver completely new types of apps that rely on huge amounts of real-time data.
