South Korea’s communications service provider, KT, has
partnered with Exent, a distributor of PC and mobile games on demand, to bring
gaming experience to KT customers.
The partnership enables KT to launch a new mobile and PC
game offering based on Exent’s GameTanium On Demand and GameTanium Mobile
services, which combine the world’s largest games catalog, including more than
200 mobile and 2,000 high-quality PC games, with the industry’s most
gamer-friendly platform.
For the first time, Korea Telecom customers can explore,
discover, download and play games from GameTanium’s extensive catalog comprised
of the best games from around the world, including some of the newest, hottest
titles in the Korean language.
KT’s new gaming service will feature GameTanium’s
unparalleled user interface that enables gamers to efficiently explore and
discover the games that most appeal to them. The touchscreen-like
interface and GameTanium engine enables users to quickly glide through Exent’s
extensive games catalog to find games across a multitude of genres including
action/adventure, arcade, puzzle and card/board games.
KT will now be able to offer access to hundreds of PC and mobile games for the
whole family including popular titles such as ‘Jewel Quest III,’ ‘Mah Jong
Quest III,’ and ‘Farm Frenzy.’ The service is available as an
“all-you-can-eat” subscription plan that offers KT customers
limitless, 24×7 game play.
“We’re excited about this partnership, which will
provide an incredible gaming experience to Korean users,” said Song Young
Hee, VP of Content & Media BU at KT.
Exent powers the Games on Demand offerings for the world’s leading service providers.
KT marks its 8th major international partnership to date. This
success is directly attributed to the company’s GameTanium services, which
combine the world’s largest PC and mobile games catalog, a cutting-edge
technology platform and the programming and back-end expertise to enable
broadband service providers to easily and profitably expand their entertainment
services with a robust and feature-rich games on demand offering.
The service strengthens carrier businesses by providing
engaging programming that encourages greater loyalty and ARPU growth from their
customers.
“To have been selected by a service provider as
outstanding as KT to deliver games programming in a technology-immersed world
is truly an honor,” said Peter von Schlossberg, president of Exent.
“Exent has emerged as the partner of choice
for service providers who desire a mass market game service that is a
competitive differentiator yet still easy to integrate, launch and manage.
In collaboration with KT, we will continue to extend our strategy of
providing rich in home and on-the-go entertainment experiences that integrate
game play across a range of consumer devices – from PCs and phones to tablets
and TV’s – all in one of the most connected cultures in the world,” Schlossberg
added.
Cisco recently announced its association
with KT, Korea’s telecommunications service provider, to implement a unified
content management system that integrates content management processes,
achieves One Source Multi Use (OSMU) objective, and support ‘N Screen’
services.
KT is embracing the vision and strategy of Cisco
Videoscape to evolve its system architecture over time to integrate client,
network and cloud components and be able to interface with content providers
allowing synchronization across TV, PC, mobile and tablet screens.
