Bitmovin And Akamai Support NRJ Group To Deploy Next Generation Media Player, AMP2

Bitmovin, a provider of video streaming infrastructure, and Akamai, the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online, has announced their collaboration with NRJ Group, a French multimedia company, to support migration of its mobile and web streaming services to Akamai Adaptive Media Player 2 (AMP2).

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.”

The NRJ Group is one of the leading media groups in France. It produces, publishes, broadcasts, and monetizes a wide variety of content, holding a leading position in the private radio sector as well as with its TV channel NRJ Hits, the first music channel on Box TV.

The NRJ Group has developed a digital ecosystem comprising a wide range of content (live digital streams, over 360 themed digital radio stations, native podcasts, and replays), accessible through a variety of platforms (websites, mobile apps, voice-controlled speakers, and third-party platforms) to maximize access to its content.
