One Horizon Group Launches App Developer Software-Library

BAAR, Switzerland, July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- One Horizon Group, Inc. (OTCQB: OHGI) ("One Horizon" or the "Company"), which develops and licenses software application platforms that optimize mobile communications over the Internet, today announced the release of its voice over IP (VoIP) technology as a software-library for smartphone App developers. 

The Horizon software library allows smartphone app developers to integrate the Horizon VoIP optimizations with their current and their future apps.  Apps such as on-line gaming can now carry the gamer's voice in a high-quality and reliable way especially while on wireless networks such as 3G, bringing a new level of mobility to games that benefit from voice communications. Another use for the library is in the plethora of existing VoIP apps that currently employ inefficient SIP protocols. App-based gaming developers can now upgrade their users' voice-communication experience by deploying Horizon and integrating the Horizon software library in their apps.

Brian Collins, Horizon Founder and Chief Technology Officer of One Horizon commented, "The Horizon software-library delivers our technology to the ever increasing global app developer community. Our proven VoIP optimizations can now become part of all smartphone apps that need the human voice to operate and significantly enrich the user experience for casual games and massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) on smart phones and tablets. Because Horizon's voice technology transmits voice efficiently over a wide range of networks, including 4G, 3G, 2G and EDGE, this effectively untethers gamers from Wi-Fi to create a truly mobile voice-enhanced experience." 

"Our turnkey solution allows the Horizon platform to be rolled out in every data center that runs a voice service, including gaming hubs, VoIP service providers, customer care centers, and so on.  We designed the library so that app developers of all skill levels are able to use it," added Mr. Collins.

The Horizon software library works in conjunction with the Horizon Global Exchange product suite.  A software license is required for the Horizon Global Exchange and for the Horizon software-library.
