End2End, which provides managed services for mobile data, said it has acquired connected-gaming provider Terraplay.
The company said that the deal will allow End2End to offer operators products in connected and multiplayer gaming and a fully managed mobile gaming offering in addition to the company’s mobile content delivery platform.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. End2End said its customer base includes international operators Vodafone, T-Mobile, 3, Orange and O2.
“We expect connected gaming to be [a] major factor in the dramatic growth of the mobile gaming market,” said Bernadette Lyons, managing director of End2End. “Connected gaming can transform the experience for the gamer, but it can also have a major impact on operators, creating opportunities for flexible business models such as pay-per-play, rental and advertising.”
