14 DAY TRIAL // Bytemobile and Opera Software announced a new dynamic content adaptation solution which will enable mobile carriers to provide open Internet access on mass-market wireless devices. The new Unison Web Fidelity Service will transform entire web pages for viewing on small screens and will support the Opera Mini browser, as well as browsers that are native to specific handsets. As a result, users will be able to navigate the full Internet on any mobile device.
The Unison Web Fidelity Service will dynamically adapt all Internet content through transparent modification techniques that include rendering, frame flattening and pagination for the handset display. The Unison architecture consolidates all Internet protocol (IP) services on a single multi-service platform deployed in the core network. In addition to intelligent content adaptation, Unison IP services include optimization, ACCESS Mobile content filtering for parental controls, and WAP 2 gateway.
"The emerging global trend of Internet mobility will provide an opportunity for network operators to take their subscribers to a new level of data services, while increasing average revenue per user and building brand loyalty," said Adrian Hall, vice president of Marketing and Business Development at Bytemobile. "People on the go will have ready, convenient access to a full range of websites - news, banking, auctions, blogs, email, photos, social networking, eCommerce. They will be able to enjoy desktop-quality browsing on any handset."
Bytemobile's Unison Web Fidelity Module will be based on the content transcoding technology of the popular Opera Mini browser. The module will be integrated with the Unison Optimization Services Node Monaco Edition for data reduction, protocol acceleration and dynamic content caching. The Unison architecture ensures rapid deployment and interoperability of all Bytemobile IP services. As a result, operators can deliver richer applications on smaller devices without increasing the cost or complexity of their network infrastructure.
The Unison Web Fidelity Service, which will be jointly developed and marketed by Bytemobile and Opera Software, is scheduled for deployment in June 2007.
