SlipStream Data Accelerates Delivery Of Mobile Data Content To Symbian OS Phones
WATERLOO, ON, CANADA - February 13, 2006 - SlipStream Data Inc., the leader in data acceleration software announced today that it has developed a full-featured data acceleration client for the rapidly growing market of Symbian OS advanced mobile phones.
Symbian develops and licenses Symbian OS, the open operating system that powers today's most popular smartphones. Symbian OS is licensed by the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers and to date, almost 48 million phones based on Symbian OS have shipped worldwide.
Ante Rupcic, SlipStream Data's Head of Mobile Market Development noted, "SlipStream's decision to develop a Symbian OS client ensures their superior acceleration and compression capability reaches the largest smartphone user base worldwide. With SlipStream Data's client, mobile data users will have access to the rich features and functionality of Symbian OS phones at faster "viewing" speeds, significantly elevating the quality of their mobile experience and ultimately, increasing adoption of mobile data usage."
This announcement follows closely on the heels of last week's release of their newest mobile solution, SlipStream MSP for Mobile Service Providers (MSPs), which uses the company's patented core acceleration, compression and network optimization technology. According to recent independent third party tests, this new mobility product enables data to travel across wireless networks at speeds that are up to 2x faster than alternative providers. As a result, mobile operators are able to accelerate the adoption of mobile data by providing a faster and more consistent user experience from good to poor RF and across network technology generations (2.5 G, 3G, 4G), while dramatically reducing network load and reducing operational costs.
"We are delighted that SlipStream Data is bringing their data compression technology to the Symbian ecosystem," said Jerry Panagrossi, Vice President of US Operations, Symbian. "With the SlipStream Data mobile acceleration client, Symbian OS phone users can receive rapid delivery of highly compressed mobile data while ensuring complete data integrity through lossless compression."
