France's NRJ Group has become the first client to adopt Akamai's AMP2 (Adaptive Media Player 2) for its mobile and web streaming operations, extending its existing CDN partnership with Akamai. AMP2 was introduced in Q4 2025 as an evolution of the original AMP, powered by Bitmovin technology for player functionality.
NRJ Group's adoption marks the first live deployment of Akamai's AMP2, showcasing its readiness for broader market use. This collaboration indicates a strategy by Akamai to enhance its media player capabilities through partnerships like Bitmovin, potentially offering a more integrated solution stack to streaming clients. The move could influence how other large broadcasters and content owners evaluate their player and CDN solutions, favoring vendors that offer both. Watch for further client announcements from Akamai regarding AMP2 and its impact on performance metrics for early adopters.
