Subscriptions done differently

The Opera Web Pass offers operators a whole new way to package and market the mobile internet to existing and potential customers. With the Opera Web Pass, gone are the days of confusing, megabyte-based data plans that did not suit user needs, which created a barrier to getting online. The Opera Web Pass allows operators, in a flexible and cost-efficient way, to package time or site specific data-offerings to their users — a straightforward process that is very similar to the way users buy apps today. The subscriptions are easy for users to understand and are fit for purpose.

Give users the mobile internet when and where they want it

Opera Web Pass Mobile

With the Opera Web Pass, operators can decide how to package subscriptions to be the most user-centric for their markets. Subscriptions can be time based, content based or a combination of the two. The Opera Web Pass is a win-win for both the operator and its users. The Opera Web Pass platform enables operators to package scalable, cost-effective subscriptions that suit user needs, stimulate the market and bring more users online, all while giving users the browsing experience promised by the web pass subscription they buy.

Opera Web Pass solution

The Opera Web Pass leverages the existing capabilities of the Opera Mini platform. The combination of Opera Mini data compression technology with provisioning and business logic functionality provides operators with a scalable tool to provide cost-effective data bundles that match their users’ needs. Requiring minimal integration work (support for Opera Mini zero rating, third-party billing and header forwarding), an operator can quickly and easily deploy tailor-made Opera Web Pass subscription packages to their entire user base.

How Opera Web Pass works

Users browse the Opera Web Pass storefront and pick the pass that works for them. When a web pass has been activated the Opera Mini client simply routes the traffic to the zero-rated server for as long as the subscription package is valid. When the package expires, traffic is routed back to the premium-rated server, unless the user has picked a new pass.
