WALTHAM, Mass. Aug. 7, 2008 -- Quattro Wireless today announced that it is expanding its
relationship
with the
NFL by partnering with the New England Patriots to bring football fans
up-to-date news and additional features right on their mobile devices.
Launching for the 2008 season, the site is the ultimate place on the
mobile web to retrieve in-depth Patriots content. In keeping with the
Patriots’ reputation for both on- and
off-field innovation, the Patriots mobile site will offer fans breaking
news, podcasts, instant in-game tracker plus NFL mobile, also powered by
Quattro. To access the site, fans will simply go to www.patriots.mobi
on their mobile phone browser.
By joining the powerhouse sports channel in the Quattro Mobile Ad
Network, the site’s ad sales will be
exclusively managed by Quattro.
“Smartphone use is really reaching critical
mass here in the US,” said Fred Kirsch,
director of interactive media for the New England Patriots. “Patriots
fans are particularly tech-savvy and are always looking for new and
interesting ways to get information on their team. Content owners like
the Patriots now have to offer digital information where their consumers
want it rather than a single destination. Quattro has given us a fresh
way to deliver our fans what they want, when they want it.”
With the site and advertisements hosted on Quattro’s
platform, the patriots.mobi site serves up unprecedented in-depth
content to satisfy the appetite of any Patriots fan including podcasts,
as well as weekly and exclusively-mobile “Patriots
Now” videos offering 1-2 minute clips of
the latest team news. The site features breaking news, team updates,
rosters, schedules, a photo gallery, Patriots ProShop information and
game reports.
“Quattro anticipates that with the growth of
the mobile web and the sports audience’s
appetite for real-time information, the Patriots’
mobile site, and similar sports-driven sites within the Quattro network,
will be popular with fans,” said Lars
Albright, vice president of business development with Quattro Wireless. “With
the Patriots' rich interactivity and breaking news feature on their new
site, it is positioned to be a user-friendly experience and a leading
site in sports.”
Using Quattro’s Juicing technology and
platform, the dynamic feed process incorporated into the site allows it
to be updated with real-time game statistics and equips it to handle the
expected high traffic volumes received on game days. The site provides a
breaking news section conveniently placed at the top of the homepage,
displaying the most interesting and important news as soon as it breaks –
making the site the most up-to-date location to retrieve Patriots
information on the mobile web.
Quattro is also working to incorporate content from its powered NFL site
to repurpose Gamecenter information, consisting of detailed live game
stats, available soon.
