Partnership results in accelerated handset browser

Bytemobile and Opera Software have jointly developed the high-performance Opera Mobile browser powered by Bytemobile's Optimization Services Node (OSN) Monaco Edition. The companies have integrated these products to accelerate current browser speeds by up to three times on 3G networks, while optimizing network efficiency by reducing per-transaction data volumes. The resulting solution, a full-HTML handset browser enhanced by Monaco, is designed for rapid integration and deployment by mobile handset makers and network operators. The Bytemobile-enhanced Opera Mobile browser is compatible with most operators platforms, as well as all handsets supported by Opera Mobile.
