SlipStream Data Expands Leadership of Internet Acceleration Market in Southeast Asia
SlipStream continues to win over major ISPs in Thailand and the Philippines, while launching new features for wireless carriers
WATERLOO, ON, CANADA and BANGKOK, THAILAND - August 4, 2005 - SlipStream Data Inc. today announced that it has signed deals with leading ISPs (Internet Service Providers) in both Thailand and the Philippines, who are using the Company's acceleration, data compression and network optimization technology to roll out accelerated Internet access services that enhance the online experience of dial-up, wireless and broadband subscribers.
At the same time, SlipStream announced the release of enhancements to its core technology engine, which are specifically targeted at wireless service providers. These enhancements enable wireless carriers to deliver on the promise of fast and reliable Internet access while increasing service capacity and reducing infrastructure investments. SlipStream's easy-to-deploy solutions for ISPs and wireless carriers will be featured at the Bangkok International ICT Expo 2005 (Aug. 3-7).
SlipStream's recent customer wins in SE Asia include Jasmine Internet (www.ji-net.com) and CS Loxinfo (www.csloxinfo.net) in Thailand, as well as Pacific Internet (www.pacific.net.ph) and Tri-Isys Internet (www.tri-isys.com) in the Philippines. All of these ISPs have chosen SlipStream's technology to deploy the fastest and most reliable Internet access services to their subscribers. The SlipStream solution has been proven the fastest in recent independent testing, accelerating access to web content and emails by up to 7 times.
SlipStream's technology gives service providers a fast and simple way of rolling out fully-branded value-added services that reduce subscriber churn by offering users a more fulfilling on-line experience. This solution seamlessly integrates into any network, and uses adaptive data compression and network optimization to streamline text, graphics, Flash and web-based emails, including attachments. SlipStream's superior compression also results in significantly reduced bandwidth requirements - allowing service providers to enhance their service offering without the need for infrastructure investment.
"The two most important criteria for our Internet subscribers are performance and choice," said Mr. Sonny Divina, Pacific Internet's VP for Sales and Marketing. "Partnering with SlipStream allows us to deploy a more robust and competitive service offering. This means offering our subscribers affordable Internet access without paying a premium price or having to compromise on performance. SlipStream's easy-to-deploy, scalable solution enables us to reduce churn and meet our revenue goals using minimal resources, which results in a significant competitive advantage."
Targeting the specific needs of ISPs, Wireless Carriers, ASPs (Application Service Providers), OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), Enterprises and other technology or licensee partners, the SlipStream Acceleration and Optimization Engine is the core technology behind all of the Company's product offerings, including SlipStream SP. SlipStream SP is the most widely deployed web and email accelerator in the world, currently used by more than 2,000 service providers in over 40 countries, making it the defacto standard for Internet acceleration. The SlipStream Engine offers the greatest speed improvement over networks with bandwidth constraints, which means it is ideal for dial, cellular, wireless/WiFi and lower speed broadband users alike.
"Our continued success in the Asian market showcases the ongoing customer demand for a simple solution that can optimize bandwidth performance over any network," said Madhukar Murthi, SlipStream's Regional Manager, Asia Pacific. "Service Providers in SE Asia and throughout the rest of the world are placing a greater emphasis on a more fulfilling customer experience because they can no longer afford the churn rates. Similarly, wireless carriers, who are suffering from lower-than-expected wireless data penetration levels, need a solution to enhance service performance without further investment. The SlipStream solution delivers that fast and reliable subscriber experience which will lead to increased traffic and revenue."
