Telsey selects the Opera browser to power its family of set-top boxes

Opera Software today announces that Telsey Telecommunications, a leading manufacturer of IP set-top boxes, has selected the Opera browser once again to provide full-featured Internet browsing on the company’s WAVES set-top boxes. Opera first partnered with Telsey in 2004 to deliver Opera 7 to the WAVES product family. Due to the success of the WAVES boxes, Telsey has now renewed its commitment to integrate the Opera browser to power full Web surfing and dynamic Web applications on their devices.

With Opera, Subscribers using Telsey’s Opera-powered WAVES set-top boxes can access all their favorite online content from the convenience of their living rooms. Opera’s unique rendering technology will automatically enhance online content with its anti- flicker solution and TV-optimized fonts, creating the best living room surfing experience possible.

“When it comes to full Web browsing that is optimized for surfing on your TV with a remote, there is no better choice than Opera,” says Roberto Mestriner, CTO, Telsey Telecommunications. “Opera is a pioneer in its field, always one step ahead in terms of providing a feature-rich Web experience that actually looks good on something other than a desktop computer. When surfing Opera on a Telsey STB, the Web actually looks like it was made to be surfed from the convenience of your couch.”
