SlipStream Data Launches New Version of World's Most Popular Web & Email Accelerator
SlipStream SP 4.0 enables ISPs and Wireless Carriers to deliver the best performance, highest reliability and most satisfying Internet experience to all subscribers
Waterloo, Ontario - April 12, 2005 - SlipStream Data Inc. today announced the availability of SlipStream SP 4.0-the fastest, most flexible and most widely deployed Web and Email Accelerator on the market. SlipStream SP 4.0 introduces more speed and new features while offering expanded compatibility and support for increasingly popular Internet browsers such as FireFox, Mozilla and the soon to be released Opera 8.0.
This powerful software enables ISPs and Wireless Carriers to easily deliver fully-branded, value-added services over existing dial-up and wireless networks at speeds up to seven times faster than traditional services. SlipStream SP helps service providers reduce customer churn by offering users a more fulfilling online experience. Currently, SlipStream SP has been adopted by over 1,000 Service Providers in 40 countries, making it the world's defacto standard in web and email acceleration technology.
"With SlipStream SP 4.0, we've made the world's fastest web accelerator even faster, while tying it into part of a bigger solution," said Ron Neumann, president of SlipStream Data Inc. "Version 4.0 goes beyond providing accelerated dial-up services by introducing features that also enhance the Internet experience for broadband and wireless users, as well as empowering Service Providers with easier set-up and management features in order to lower deployment and support requirements. This latest version includes a number of customer requested enhancements such as expanded compatibility and seamless integration with the popular Opera, Firefox and Mozilla browsers."
SlipStream SP leads to increased adoption, customer satisfaction and profits for all service providers. ISPs offering accelerated dial services will be able to differentiate themselves with the fastest, most reliable, fully-branded product, while also benefiting from the lowest support requirements. Broadband ISPs will benefit from enhanced performance for "high speed lite" subscribers, as well as the ability to ensure optimal performance for customers who want to switch between multiple connection types. For Wireless Carriers, SlipStream SP enables them to deliver on the promise of fast and reliable wireless Internet.
"By leveraging SlipStream's fast and reliable acceleration technology in our Netscape Accelerated and Nitro Internet services, AOL Canada has been able to provide compelling offerings to Canadians who otherwise would not enjoy faster, more affordable Internet service," said Steven Koles, General Manager, Netscape & AOL Enhanced Services. "SlipStream has enabled us to create a new competitive category in the marketplace."
SlipStream's sophisticated acceleration technologies compress, optimize and streamline web content and email, providing a dramatic improvement in access speeds over any network. This technology gives Service Providers a fast and flexible way of rolling out the most comprehensive selection of value-added services to attract and retain customers.
