Mauj Mobile leverages Akamai Intelligent Platform to enhance gaming experience

Mauj Mobile has announced an extension of its relationship with Akamai Technologies, Inc., the Content Delivery Network (CDN) services provider. Mauj Mobile currently has over 100 million game downloads (in the last 12 months) through its two market places Mobango.com and newly launched Gamesbond.com. About 30-40 percent of downloads are on mobile operator data networks and the remaining 60 percent through Wi-Fi networks. Globally given the increasing availability of high spec handsets, the size of games is increasing with the average size of games currently at 40MB. The game download distribution on Mobango.com also shows similar trend for India with more than 40 percent of downloads for games greater than 20MB in size. To be able to meet customer expectations, Mauj implemented Akamai’s Media Delivery Solutions, Fast DNS and cloud monitor solutions, which helped Mauj deliver gaming content securely with more than 90 percent bandwidth offload. Speaking on the collaboration, Badri Sanjeevi, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Mauj Mobile said, “Our constant endeavor at Mauj Mobile is to offer an end-to-end mobile gaming experience for our users. Our association with Akamai gives us the right opportunity to offer the best content in the most secure way, surpassing the challenge of data connectivity in India. Benefiting from Akamai’s strong capabilities to offer content delivery network (CDN), Mauj Mobile intends to create an ecosystem that instantly adapts to the Internet conditions and builds a hassle free gaming network.”
