Opera Max for compressing mobile traffic now available in Armenia

YEREVAN, April 23. /ARKA/.  Opera Software announced its Opera Max data-savings app is now available in Armenia and other CIS countries, according to the company’s report.

Opera Max is a free and easy-to-use data-savings app that compresses data across almost every app on a mobile device – including video, text and images. Now, users in CIS can extend the life of their MB/GB data plans by up to 50%, especially if they use video- and image-heavy apps, such as Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Instagram or Viber.

Once the user installs and runs Opera Max, the app starts compressing and rerouting data to the data-savings cloud using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).  All non-encrypted data requests (excluding websites and apps with HTTPS connections) are sent through Opera Software’s compression servers, which optimize video, images and websites to use less data.

Opera Max also allows users to tame their apps by detecting when they are roaming, so they can prevent their apps from using any expensive data. Users can easily block any app from using mobile data and restrict it to using Wi-Fi only, operasoftware.com reports.

“Opera Max is the next step in the evolution of the compression technology pioneered by Opera Software. Users in the USA and Europe are already enjoying Opera Max and saving mobile data. Now it’s Russian and CIS users’ turn to see how much extra data they can get from their data plans simply by installing Opera Max”, says Sergey Lossev, Head of Opera Max at Opera Software.

Opera Max is available as a free download at the Google Play Store, for any smartphone running Android 4.0 or above. ($1=414.12drams).  –0--
