Bitmovin and Akamai Support NRJ Groups Deployment of Akamai Adaptive Media Player 2

Bitmovin and Akamai have announced a collaboration with NRJ Group, a French multimedia company, to migrate its mobile and web streaming services to Akamai Adaptive Media Player 2 (AMP2). NRJ Group is the first net new customer to deploy AMP2.

AMP2 is powered by Bitmovin's Player, Observability, and Stream Lab technologies combined with Akamai's CDN infrastructure. The platform integrates player, analytics, testing, and CDN delivery into a managed end-to-end solution.

The combination of Bitmovin's advanced playback and analytics technology with Akamai's distributed cloud and CDN creates a uniquely powerful and scalable media player. NRJ's successful deployment of the Akamai Adaptive Media Player 2 represents a strong validation of the player's ability to support demanding, large-scale media environments, says Stefan Lederer, Co-CEO, Bitmovin.

AMP2 is the result of a long-standing partnership with Bitmovin, combining the scale of Akamai's content delivery capabilities and cloud compute infrastructure with Bitmovin's widely deployed player, analytics, and stream testing technologies. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to help service providers like NRJ simplify streaming while also providing the best possible experience to their customers, says Scott Lerner, SVP Global Services, Akamai.

At NRJ, we're committed to delivering seamless, high-quality audio and viewing experiences to all our customers. Akamai, our trusted CDN partner for many years, was naturally at the heart of our decision-making process. The choice of AMP2 was an obvious one, both technically and strategically: this solution allows us to optimize the entire delivery chain, from the source (CDN) to the final playback. AMP2, born from the collaboration between Akamai and Bitmovin, two undisputed leaders in content delivery, embodies the perfect synergy between performance and innovation, says Alain Reyes, CTO NRJ Audio, NRJ Group.

NRJ Group operates in the private radio sector and owns NRJ Hits, a music TV channel. Its digital ecosystem includes live streams, more than 360 themed digital radio stations, native podcasts, and replays across websites, mobile apps, voice-controlled speakers, and third-party platforms.
