Multi-device platform takes leap forward with business deal

Teleca, one of the world’s leading suppliers of software solutions to the mobile software market, has today announced a partnership with Antix Labs, developers of a multi-device gaming platform.

Antix Game Player (AGP) uniquely provides the ability to display game content across multiple platforms without the need to recode the software. This includes the networking and interfacing of many platforms, including many mobile devices and personal computers.

Antix’s game service includes developer tools, a certification service and store, along with its on-device software client. Consumers using the Antix service can play casual-to-AAA titles across multiple screens, irrespective of variations in screen size, input device, operating system and chipset.

Content can be distributed via the cloud or off-network from one device to another, such as from a TV to a phone, or a PC to a Set-Top Box, whilst sales is still handled via the service provider’s store. “Try Before You Buy” services are also available both on the device or from a customer’s browser on the PC.

The partnership of these two entities means that the days of re-buying every game for every device may thankfully be approaching its close.

“Partnering with Antix opens up a whole new dimension for us and is a step forward for the gaming industry,” said  Andrew Till, Vice President of Solutions Marketing at Teleca Ltd.

“Antix is already working with many of the world’s leading device makers and is uniquely placed to drive this multi-screen revolution, delivering social network and other content services to consumers using phones and other devices such as TVs especially when combined with our global presence and integration expertise.”

“We wanted Teleca’s outstanding know-how across a diverse range of platforms like Windows Mobile, Android and Symbian, its worldwide engineering force and its many relationships with key carriers and manufacturers, ” said Francis Charig, Antix’s Chief Executive.

“We are collaborating to manage our multi-screen service rollout and subsequent customer support. Through this partnership we can be even more effective in exploiting the many advances in connected gaming enabled by Antix to deliver to consumers the services that they want where they want them.”
