Technologies Extend JAMDAT Platform To Include
Near Real-Time Multiplayer Gaming on
Next-Generation Wireless Phones
LOS ANGELES, CA - (October 3, 2002) –JAMDAT
Mobile Inc., a leading publisher of entertainment applications and provider of enabling
technologies for wireless, announced
today that it has acquired the wireless gaming technology of DemiVision LLC, a
wireless technology company located in Huntington Beach, CA. As a result of the
acquisition, JAMDAT gains access to DemiVision’s unique wireless multiplayer
gaming platform for developing and hosting interactive, client-server based
wireless games.
“This
important announcement confirms JAMDAT’s commitment to multiplayer, connected
gaming for mobile devices,” said Mitch Lasky, CEO of JAMDAT Mobile. “In 2000,
JAMDAT launched the Gladiator franchise, the most successful turn-based
multiplayer game for WAP. Now, we look
forward to adding the DemiVision technology to our existing multiplayer and
community platform to bring even more exciting multiplayer applications to
mobile game consumers. Because wireless phones are inherently communication
devices, they allow us to create mobile, multiplayer gaming experiences that
cannot be replicated on a traditional video game console or the PC.”
“Since its
inception, DemiVision has been exclusively focused on making truly interactive
multiplayer wireless gaming a reality,” stated Barry
Sohl, President and Founder of DemiVision, LLC. “JAMDAT has the proven success
record, robust multiplayer development platform and unequaled wireless
entertainment expertise that will bring DemiVision’s technologies to life. We are very excited that our technology has
become a permanent part of their global mobile entertainment offering.”
Lasky
added, “JAMDAT’s existing multiplayer platform provides a robust environment
for development of multiplayer wireless applications. When DemiVision’s low-latency TDP/UDP
technology is combined with our existing platform, we can take the multiplayer
experience to the next level and offer near real-time wireless gaming,
