By integrating mophun into our technology suite our handset customers can implement download capabilities in their phones and therefore enable their users to access the latest games through mophun-enabled network operators".
Synergenix has also completed the demonstration of multiplayer games using symbian enabled handsets.
The demonstration, which will be shown on TTPCom's stand number 2261.060 in Hall 2 at ITU Telecom in Geneva, uses Bluetooth to establish the connection between handsets and can support a maximum of eight players.
Per Osterberg, CEO of Synergenix stated: "Mobile multiplayer gaming offers a huge opportunity for network operators to generate additional revenues.
Bluetooth supports games between up to eight players in close proximity, but the step up to GPRS opens up the potential for the development of huge wireless gaming communities operating across the world.
Some of our customers have already reported an increased ARPU of up to Eur 7.30 per month from the delivery of mophun games, and multiplayer gaming will increase this number further.
Our combined technologies also enable the operator to deliver the latest multiplayer 3D games from Synergenix over-the-air to mobile phones.
This keeps the operator in control of the subscriber's gaming experience and revenue opportunities".
"From a gaming point of view the next few months look very exciting.
With WGE and mophun now integrated, we have a clear roadmap for our handset customers.
Not only can they progress from embedded games, to downloadable content, but perhaps more exciting is the step to multiplayer games using Bluetooth and GPRS", added Gordon Aspin.
