Here are thumbnails of just a few of Bytemobile’s 117 live commercial deployments worldwide.
China Mobile Delivers the Mobile Internet with Bytemobile’s Content Adaptation Solution
In July 2009, China Mobile, the world’s largest wireless network operator, was poised to launch the first phase of its nationwide Web Gateway project. The project would provide millions of subscribers access to open internet browsing on all mobile handsets — feature phones and smartphones — over China Mobile’s new 3G TD-SCDMA network.
In preparation for the launch, China Mobile deployed Bytemobile’s Web Fidelity™ Suite content adaptation solution on the Unison Mobile Internet Platform. The award-winning clientless solution dynamically transcodes full HTML websites, including Adobe Flash and multimedia content, enabling subscribers to view, use and interact on their handset with the same websites and brands that they experience on their desktop or laptop. The result? A rich and compelling user experience validating China Mobile as the brand of choice for innovative services in the world’s largest mobile market.
In addition to supporting the end-to-end deployment of the content adaptation solution, Bytemobile partnered with the provincial operator, Jiangsu Mobile, to promote the launch of the new service with the following advertising video, produced by Bytemobile Customer Marketing Services:
China Mobile serves nearly 725 million subscribers and has been a Bytemobile customer since 2004, deploying web optimization in 12+ provinces.
MetroPCS Boosts MetroWEB Service with Bytemobile’s Web Fidelity Suite
In October 2009, MetroPCS, a provider of unlimited wireless communications services covering approximately 143 million people in the U.S., took the opportunity to enhance its subscribers’ mobile internet experience through a multi-year, multi-product agreement with Bytemobile.
In addition to utilizing Bytemobile’s industry-leading web optimization solution to cost-effectively scale its high-speed CDMA network, MetroPCS deployed the Web Fidelity Suite content adaptation solution to enrich the quality of its MetroWEB mobile internet service.
The clientless, mobile site–aware application gave MetroPCS subscribers full access to the Internet, ensuring the best possible experience by device type. As a result, MetroPCS was able to deliver a rich, fast and compelling service to its users.

TeliaSonera Powers SurfOpen Web Browsing Service with Bytemobile’s Web Fidelity Suite
In January 2009, TeliaSonera, a major provider of telecommunications services in the Nordic and Baltic countries, launched the next generation of its Telia SurfOpen service. This innovative off-portal web browsing tool extends the operator’s SurfPort portal by dynamically and transparently adapting open internet content to all feature phones and smartphones, while leaving made-for-mobile content intact.
For the deployment of SurfOpen at TeliaSonera Sweden and other operating companies under a group supply agreement with Bytemobile, TeliaSonera selected Bytemobile’s Web Fidelity Suite of applications for web, Flash and media content adaptation. Also included in the agreement was Bytemobile’s OSN web optimization application for data reduction and performance acceleration on handsets and laptops.
TeliaSonera, which has more than 135 million subscribers across all properties, has been a Bytemobile customer since the deployment of Telia Denmark in 2002. The TeliaSonera Sweden installation marked Bytemobile’s 100th customer network deployment.
Vodafone D2 Delivers the Mobile Internet via Web Fidelity Suite
In June 2007, Vodafone D2 GmbH launched the Handy 2.0 MobileInternetFlat service on its portal, Vodafone live! For a flat monthly rate, the service gives subscribers direct access to Google, YouTube, eBay, MySpace, and other websites from their mass-market mobile handsets.
MobileInternet Flat is powered by Web Fidelity Suite content adaptation, which is deployed on the Unison platform in the core of Vodafone D2’s network. Vodafone D2 is the largest property of Vodafone Group and operates one of the largest wireless networks in Germany, with more than 38 million subscribers. The carrier has been a Bytemobile customer since 2003. It is one of 20 operating companies or affiliates of Vodafone Group to have installed the OSN since the deployment of Vodafone UK in 2001.
Vodafone Hungary Delivers Open Web Browsing, Including Flash Animation and Video, to Its Customers
In 2008, Vodafone Hungary opened the Internet to its mobile handset subscribers. To provide a consistent, high-quality user experience, the operator deployed Bytemobile’s Web Fidelity Suite solution for web, Flash and multimedia content adaptation. This solution dynamically and transparently transcodes off-portal web pages and both embedded and downloadable video applications for delivery across virtually all mobile devices.
As a result, customers of Vodafone Hungary can access and use the World Wide Web on WAP 2.0 feature phones and enjoy full HTML browsing on smartphones. They can discover any video or audio file on the Web and play a continuous media stream on any wireless device with a standard media player.
With more than 11 million subscribers today, Vodafone Hungary has been a Bytemobile customer since 2003, when it first deployed the OSN for reducing network data volume and speeding up laptop traffic.
