M7 Networks and Tira Wireless Integrate Services

M7 Networks, a developer of matchmaking community software for mobile phone games, and Tira Wireless, which produces the Tira Jump automated porting software, have joined together to integrate their respective services. The M7 community APIs will now carry over automatically from platform to platform when using the Tira Jump Product Suite to port mobile phone games from one handset to another. The community software can be branded to the individual handset or carrier without having to manually reintegrate it from scratch with each port. Neither company announced when the integrated services would be available. "More leading mobile game and application publishers use Tira Jump than any other porting technology. These publishers can now accelerate deployment of content onto M7 Networks' community-based platform," said William Erickson, CEO and president of M7 Networks. Matt Golden, VP of business development at Tira Wireless, commented: "It's critical for publishers using Tira Jump to have the capability of quickly adapting their content for mobile communities during the porting process, enabling them to further accelerate time to market."
