Opera Software today announced that the 64-bit LTE-chips from MediaTek, namely in the eight-and quad-core MT6752 MT6732, will be integrated Opera Max. Recall, the last is a compression technology of mobile Internet traffic. According to the representatives of the company Opera Software, Opera Max implementation of support for chipsets from MediaTek provide data compression of up to 50% of the original volume.
"The partnership with Opera Software confirms its commitment to the development of powerful and MediaTek available processors that help equipment manufacturers to significantly increase the level of penetration of smartphones in the segment of middle-class Super-mid market. We want to ensure that consumers can fully enjoy the benefits of 4G LTE technology while minimizing the cost of the mobile Internet, which are associated with high-end smartphones, "- said Jeffrey Chiu, general manager of the commercial division of smartphones MediaTek.
"As the demand for mobile data applications and video compression mobile data becomes more relevant than ever. During the last ten years, Opera remains the leader in the field of optimization of mobile web traffic, allowing millions of people around the world enjoy the benefits of the global network. Today we begin work with MediaTek, a leading developer of solutions for SOC wireless communications, in order to install Opera Max on their processors and thereby prepare smartphones to the explosive growth of data consumption. Together with MediaTek we are opening new opportunities for the entire mobile industry, "- said Lars Boilesen , CEO of Opera Software.
Specifically for manufacturers of devices based on the MT6752 and MT6732 agreement between Opera Software and MediaTek will help avoid additional testing for compatibility with the compression technology Opera Max. MT6752 - a 64-bit, eight cores with support for LTE (eight cores ARM Cortex-A53 processor with a clock frequency of 2 GHz and a graphics accelerator Mali-T760). MT6732 - 64-bit quad-core processor based on the ARM Cortex-A53.
