TEMPE, Az – 31 March 2010 – Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:LLNW, news, filings) announced today that it will support high-performance, media-rich content delivery to the Apple® iPad® device on day one of product availability. Customers of the Limelight REACH and Limelight ADS services will automatically have their mobile distribution and monetization services updated for the new device, enabling them to present a brilliant and properly formatted media experience to purchasers of the widely anticipated tablet.

Behind the scenes, intelligence built into the company’s XD Platform ensures that publishers’ media files are encoded correctly for almost any mobile or tablet display, and then delivered over the appropriate protocol to the device.
