SlipStream Data Takes Opera and Microsoft Mobile Subscribers to Warp Speed


New Mobile Solution Accelerates Industry Standard Mobile Browsers

WATERLOO, ON, Feb. 14 /-- SlipStream Data Inc., the leading global provider of data acceleration software, today confirmed their newly- launched mobile acceleration solution - SlipStream MSP - supports the industry- leading mobile browsers Opera Mobile(TM) and Microsoft® Pocket Internet Explorer for SmartPhones and PDAs.

SlipStream MSP delivers downloading speeds clocked at 3.2x faster than non-accelerated browsers so mobile subscribers experience impressive browsing sessions. Seamless to the end user, SlipStream MSP's client integrates easily with these mobile browsers and requires no end-user reconfiguration. Mobile users browse the Internet as they normally would but at noticeably higher speeds.

SlipStream MSP's signature compression technology reduces network data load by up to 80% on average, benefiting service providers with highly optimized networks that result in significant cost savings.

"We continue to offer superior accelerated browsing experience on all industry-standard platforms," said Ante Rupcic, SlipStream's Head of Mobile Market Development, "to give service providers the ability to offer the highest quality of service to all their mobile subscribers."

SlipStream supports the Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer Web browser for Windows Mobile® 5.0 and the Opera Mobile(TM) browser on the Symbian OS(TM).

With news of their support for Opera and Microsoft mobile browsers and the earlier announcement of the support of Symbian OS(TM) phones this week, SlipStream Data continues to further strengthen their position in the mobile industry.

SlipStream MSP uses patented acceleration, adaptive data compression and state-of-the-art network optimization technology to streamline text, graphics, Flash and Web-based emails, including attachments. SlipStream MSP is the only solution to support the widest range of devices (handsets, SmartPhones, PDAs and laptops) and deliver consistent Quality of Service (QoS) from good to poor RF and across all network generations (2.5G, 3G, 4G). This technology has given service providers a fast and simple way of rolling out fully-branded, value-added services that offer data users a more fulfilling online experience.
