Actiga Corporation (OTCBB: AGAC) today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary, Qmotions, has signed a North American licensing agreement with Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT). The agreement will allow Qmotions to incorporate Microsoft’s Xbox 360 wireless technology in its own game controllers and will produce a full line of products officially endorsed by Microsoft.
“This is a milestone event for our company that now enables us to design, develop and market a unique range of wireless products, bringing the excitement of action gaming to a whole new level on the Xbox 360 system,” Amro Albanna, chairman and CEO of Actiga stated in the press release. “We are excited to have been chosen as a Microsoft partner, particularly at this early stage of technology development where the award of Microsoft’s wireless accessory agreement continues to position us at the cutting edge of technology.”
Through the licensing agreement, Qmotions will introduce the first application of the technology in the second half of 2008, when the company rolls out its new line of wireless active game controllers.
“Our aim with the Xbox 360 system is to broaden the consumer videogame experience and ensure a perfect match between the console, the peripherals and the game,” Scott Loomis, Xbox Third Party Peripheral Program Manager stated. “Qmotions has proven their commitment to providing a variety of innovative and high quality peripherals to enhance the video gaming adventure.
