Opera Software and SlipStream Data Partner to Accelerate "The World's Fastest Browser": Leading Web and e-mail accelerator to be integrated with the forthcoming Opera browser version 7.60
Oslo, Norway and Waterloo, Ontario - Nov. 4, 2004
Opera Software and SlipStream Data today announced the integration of the Opera browser with SlipStream's Web and e-mail acceleration technology. The integrated solution enables ISPs to offer up to six times faster browsing on dial-up and wireless connections, as well as provides fast and secure access to critical data for mobile workers and organizations with limited bandwidth.
Opera's browser integration with the SlipStream software is with its yet-to-debut version, 7.60. Opera 7.60 is set to usher in more innovative browsing features in keeping with Opera's tradition of revolutionizing the user experience while sustaining it as an easy-to-use Internet power tool. Users get all the functionality of Opera's Web browser and built-in e-mail and chat clients in one speedy solution. The public release of v7.60 is slated for the end of 2004.
"As Opera is known as the fastest browser on earth, the decision to consider the browser for this integration was simple," says Ron Neumann, President, SlipStream Data. "Our goal is to offer a superior accelerated browsing experience on any platform and Opera's multiplatform support helps achieve this. This integration gives ISPs increased support and speed for their users, and will also significantly increase the productivity of mobile workers. Such a partnership helps us continue to expand and embed our technology into new markets."
