Under the terms of the group supply agreement, TeliaSonera operating companies, beginning with Sweden, will deploy Bytemobile’s integrated content adaptation solutions to enhance the mobile web browsing and multimedia experience of users of the TeliaSonera SurfOpen service (http://www.teliasonera.com/products_services/residential_customers

“TeliaSonera’s off-portal mobile surfing concept, SurfOpen, is growing rapidly,” said Indra Åsander, senior vice president and head of Product Management for Mobility Services at TeliaSonera. “It is an important service for our customers who wish to access and use the open Internet. It also adds new revenue streams for TeliaSonera. Bytemobile enables us to provide a flexible and stable deployment of the SurfOpen service in our markets.”

Bytemobile’s Web Fidelity™ Suite of applications enables operators to deliver fast, rich, off-portal web browsing and multimedia play on smartphones and feature phones. Web Fidelity applications include Content Adaptation for web, Adobe® Flash® and media content; a Widget Bar for delivering useful, personally relevant information in real time to users without extensive search and navigation (http://www.bytemobile.com/news-events/2009/archive_040209.html); and Ad Insertion for automatically serving targeted ads in adapted web and multimedia content, so that operators can create new business models and revenue streams based on advertising and content partnerships. All applications are fully integrated on Bytemobile’s Unison™ Mobile Internet Platform in the core data path of the network.

“Our centennial customer deployment is a testament to the strength of the global Bytemobile brand,” said Hatim Tyabji, the company’s executive chairman. “It is also a significant milestone which clearly distinguishes Bytemobile among other companies in the mobile ecosystem. We are pleased that the 100th commercial network installation has taken place at an operating company of our strategic partner, TeliaSonera.”

Bytemobile completed its first customer network deployment, at Vodafone UK, in 2001 and in the ensuing years has built leading market share throughout Europe, North America and Asia. Prior deployments within the TeliaSonera group include Telia Denmark and Yoigo in Spain.
