n2go International, Inc. announced that it has selected Limelight Networks, Inc. as the Company’s exclusive Content Delivery Network (“CDN”).
en2go is developing next-generation applications, content and media assets targeting the billions of computer desktops, television, PDAs, iPhones, iPods, cameras, mobile phones in use worldwide. Limelight Networks will be active in the beta-phase testing of en2go’s proprietary new high definition streaming application Flyxo(TM). The successful testing and launch of Flyxo has the potential to redefine online delivery of digital media globally.
Flyxo is the first of en2go’s beta-phase applications. It is a media delivery platform that broadcasts movies, images, music, flash, quartz and slideshows directly to the user’s desktop for superior multimedia experience. Unlike most video streaming technologies, Flyxo delivers a stream of mixed clips from HD video to high-resolution images to user’s desktop. Flyxo enables content owners to easily create their own channel by mixing video with interactive media, then broadcast it to anywhere in the world. Flyxo is in essence a super-powered media player combined with an online TV station, home movie theater, radio station, picture viewer, gaming facilitator and a multi-purpose media software all-in-one.
The Limelight Network CDN was selected by en2go to provide the back-end infrastructure and high-speed delivery pipeline needed to deploy the Company’s streaming software. Limelight Networks provides a robust and scalable rich media delivery infrastructure by using direct connections to more than 800 networks around the world.
“We are pleased to be working with a revolutionary application like Flyxo that promises to enhance a user’s desktop experience in an innovative way,” said Dave Hatfield, senior vice president, sales, products, marketing, Limelight Networks, Inc. “With the demand for online, streaming content growing, Limelight Networks is ensuring the quality of en2go’s content to the three screen devices — mobile, PCs and the TV — is as rich and reliable as possible.”
The alliance with a tier-one global CDN infrastructure to deliver content quickly and reliably is an essential component of the successful launch of en2go applications to desktops in the global marketplace. en2go will also utilize performance monitoring tools offered by Limelight Networks to provide real-time intelligence for online strategies and marketing initiatives and to identify visitor behavior patterns. These additional services are expected to immediately increase en2go’s operational efficiency and accelerate the company’s speed-to-market with its flagship products.
En2go Founder and CEO Tolga Katas and Chief of Global Operations Adam Powell were primary architects of the en2go-Limelight partnership. “I hold Limelight’s core business values in the highest possible regard and see the pairing as a natural and very comfortable fit for our two companies,” says Katas. Powell concurs, saying, “Limelight will allow us to accelerate the beta testing of Flyxo and ultimately the product launch. This represents the first steps in forging what we know will be a long and powerful relationship. Both companies share a common vision in their interpretation of the future of online media delivery and will use Flyxo to demonstrate the speed, portability and user-centric nature of that future.”
