This move will enable the NRJ Group, who is the first net new customer to deploy AMP2, to reduce the complexity of delivering high-quality streaming experiences at scale, while also improving visibility into playback performance, and enabling faster issue resolution through deeper analytics and CDN-level insights.

Akamai AMP2, powered by Bitmovin’s Player, Observability, and Stream Lab technologies, is an enterprise-grade media player that simplifies media delivery through hands-off maintenance, wide device coverage, and advanced playback optimization. By combining player, analytics, testing, and CDN infrastructure into a managed end-to-end solution, it enables service providers to more easily deliver high-quality viewing experiences at scale.

Alain REYES, CTO NRJ AUDIO, NRJ Group commented: “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.”
