STOCKHOLM - Thursday, May 12th 2011 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 24MAS, a leader in mobile advertising and applications, announces the acquisition of Irish mobile service provider Selatra. From its headquarters in Cork, Selatra operates in 55 countries and has over 9 years of experience delivering mobile content and fully managed operator services. Following the acquisition of THQ Wireless carrier operations in February, 24MAS will continue to roll out new services from Selatra globally, including on-device- portals for smartphones and feature phones, managed carrier solutions, and further powering publishers and content providers across smartphones and feature phones.
With Selatra, 24MAS gains a purpose built suite of technologies and an experienced management team, accelerating both companies plans to grow their offering to carriers and media partners. The move complements 24MAS existing product and technology services to carriers and media partners, and further strengthens its global footprint as a total mobile solutions provider in Asia, South America, North America, Australia and Europe.
"We are thrilled by this new partnership between the Selatra team and the 24MAS group. We are now able to offer our partners the full solution of advertising and premium content solutions, whilst allowing app developers to deal simply with one company and earn additional revenues through our networks - submit once and deliver to all, ads or apps. We feel that we are in a unique position to exploit the booming mobile markets in the coming years with distributions rights, unmatched global reach, application hosting and managed service solutions covering everything from monitoring, reporting and billing. By adding on great titles to our app portfolio we will soon also have a collection of some of the best mobile apps on the market,"says Tero Turunen, CEO 24MAS.
As the market becomes more fragmented globally across mobile operating systems, 24MAS and Selatra can together offer all parties in the mobile value chain a simple, complete end-2-end solution - advertising, distribution, on and off deck app stores and hosting solutions.
"We believe that becoming a part of 24MAS takes our business to the next level. Selatra has a long history of distribution and hosting, but have not yet entered the thriving business of mobile advertising. We are happy to join 24MAS and have the opportunity to fully exploit our knowledge and abilities and delivering world class service both in apps and ads,"says Fergal O'Callaghan, CEO of Selatra.
