MUMBAI: Save energy and money on data transfer from your mobile handset. The telecom operators are coming up with a proxy-server-based technology which will help you store a large data on your mobile handset. Bharti Airtel, a leading integrated telecommunications company with operations in 20 countries across Asia and Africa, recently announced its global arrangement with Opera Software to offer Mini internet browser for its customers.
With this, over 253 million Airtel customers across countries including India, South Asia and Africa will now be able to leverage Opera Mini's unique proxy-server-based technology to compress data by up to 90% and decrease their data transfer costs.
Designed for speed and ease of use, Opera Mini provides remarkably fast browsing on nearly any mobile phone. It is proven to make browsing up to nine times as fast as client-only mobile browsers on both 2/2.5G and 3G networks. With its small footprint and high level of usability, Opera Mini provides a consistent user experience across a broad range of handsets.
"We are excited to bring a superior browsing platform to Airtel mobile customers across India and South Asia by leveraging Opera Mini's tried-and-tested set of solutions. We are confident that this association will be instrumental in helping us deliver a truly customized, enhanced and optimized browsing experience for our data users", said K Srinivas, President - Consumer Business, Bharti Airtel.
Opera Software has agreements with 13 out of the top 30 operators globally. Used by over 168 million users, Opera Mini is the world's most popular web browser on mobile phones. Opera Mini's popularity in emerging markets can be credited to its smooth performance on basic/non-smartphones.
