Propel Software
Launches Propel Accelerator 5.1 -
Delivers Superior Speed and Image Quality
Increased server capacity lowers total cost of ownership
to ISPs
BALTIMORE, Md., ISPCON Spring
2005, Booth #104, May 24, 2005 - Propel® Software Corporation (www.propel.com),
a global market leader in Internet acceleration solutions,
today announced Propel Accelerator 5.1. Using a proprietary
compression algorithm, Propel Accelerator 5.1 adds new features,
increased speed and expanded server capacity.
Propel Accelerator 5.1 features the optimal
balance of speed and image quality, with improved image compression
for smaller, faster and sharper images. ISPs can take advantage
of this improved speed without compromising quality. In addition,
a significant feature in Propel Accelerator 5.1 is increased
server capacity that provides three to five times as many
subscribers per server as compared to the competition. This
is an important attribute for ISPs who must keep the total
cost of ownership (TCO) to a minimum while servicing a growing
number of subscribers.
"Propel Accelerator 5.1 provides ISPs
and wireless carriers with a compelling way to differentiate
their services, drive growth of new subscribers and add a
new revenue source," said David Fannin, Propel president and
CEO. "With a reach of more than 35 million users in over 30
countries, Propel Accelerator assists ISPs to deliver the
best product to their wireless mobile data, low-speed broadband
and dial-up subscribers. This results in building brand loyalty
and reducing costly customer churn."
Available in June 2005, acceleration and
image quality features in Propel Accelerator 5.1 will be integrated
into all of Propel's acceleration products.
At ISPCON, Propel Software Executive Vice
President David Murray will participate in a roundtable discussion
entitled "How Wireless and Low Speed Broadband Providers
Benefit from Acceleration." The roundtable will take
place on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:00 P.M. Moderated by Hal Schlenger,
senior product manager for EarthLink, panelists include Tanya
Miller, CenturyTel, Jose Papa Neto, IG Brazil, and John Marker,
Advanced Cellular Communications Corporation.
