MachBlue™ Technology Platform Recognized as “Best of the Best”
DALLAS, TEXAS — June 8, 2006 — Bluestreak Network, Inc., developer of the MachBlue™ platform for mobile and television, has been awarded top honors in the Orange Partner Innovation Contest, an accolade given to the “Best of the Best” in original and innovative mobile products, services or technology concepts. The contest, a highlight of the Orange Partner Camp event held May 8-10 in Sarasota, Florida, was judged by two international panels of Orange marketing, branding, product development, and mobile technology and networking executives.
Bluestreak’s MachBlue software platform powers Orange World TV, a rich-media mobile television portal that delivers 52 channels across 3G and EDGE networks. Bluestreak’s software is deployed by Orange France to enable rich-media applications such as Orange League 1 Soccer, and by Time Warner Cable, which uses MachBlue as a core component of its new digital navigator for cable TV.
“Against some very tough competition, the product was felt by the final judging panel to be the most innovative, and commercially-viable we saw within the contest,” said Steve Glagow, the Director of Orange Partner. “It answers many of the Orange-France Telecom multimedia requirements, and we are now looking at the possibility of rolling this product out globally."
“We are tremendously honored by Orange’s recognition of MachBlue,” said Paul Forostowsky, Chief Executive Officer of Bluestreak. “Orange is a leader in creating compelling, rich-media services for mobile, and we look forward to expanding our partnership with them and exploring new opportunities to shape the next wave of mobile experiences around the world.”
