51Degrees module
The DXA 51Degrees module provides device detection functionality to improve the user experience when accessing your DXA website across different device types, such as smartphones and tablets in addition to full desktop and laptop screens.
51Degrees features
- Understanding how goal completion varies by device characteristics such as physical screen size by adding additional data to existing reporting and analytics.
- Utilizing the superior power of the web server and SDL templating to make macro level decisions concerning page layout, navigation and design leading.
- Implementing device-specific user interface features.
- Reducing regression testing by using templates selected on browser capabilities.
The use of the 51Degress module substantially enhances the current DXA device detection capabilities by giving you access to the 51Degrees database, which stores information on over 450,000 combinations of supported devices, and is updated on a weekly basis.

Licensing
If you have already bought the 51Degrees license, you can use it with Digital Experience Accelerator (DXA). Once you enable the 51Degrees module, DXA will automatically scan for the license key in your environment. If DXA discovers the 51Degrees license key, it will automatically update your environment with the latest device data set available.
If you do not have the 51Degrees license, you can still use the 51Degrees module in the free Lite mode which does not contain the full list of properties available to licensed users. The Lite mode also receives less frequent updates comparing to the paid version.
