Combined Entity to Engage Consumers Worldwide Through Digital Advertising, Gaming and Travel PlatformsWESTON, FL, July 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Monaker Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKGI) (the “Company”), a technology leader in the travel and vacation rental markets, today announced it has entered into binding definitive share exchange agreements (the “Agreements”) relating to the proposed acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of HotPlay Enterprise Limited (a private British Virgin Islands Company) from the shareholders of such entity for a majority stake in the Company.  The Company will also acquire shares and certain loans of Axion Ventures, Inc. (Axion) from related shareholders of HotPlay who also control a minority interest in Axion and have provided a majority of the credit to Axion. Under the terms of the Agreements, upon the closing thereof, the shareholders of HotPlay will become the majority shareholders of the Company following the closings, with the HotPlay shareholders receiving 67.8% of the Company’s post-closing capitalization as a result of the merger of HotPlay, which shall include at least US $15 million in cash available for the expansion the Company. Current stockholders of the Company will hold 17.4% of the Company’s post-closing capitalization of the Company unless more than US $15 million is provided by HotPlay pursuant to the merger.    Upon the closing, the Company and HotPlay would become a combined public entity under Monaker Group, with HotPlay’s shareholders, at the end of the process, becoming the Company’s largest stakeholders with a controlling interest in the combined public company and the transaction resulting in a change of control of the Company.A condition to closing the Agreements is that HotPlay contributes $15 million in funding at closing (less amounts loaned to the Company prior to closing, as discussed below), a portion of which is planned to be available to the Company to be used to enhance its Alternative Lodging Rental (ALR) and NextTrip platforms, as well as fund its marketing budgets, retire existing debts, and provide excess capital for use in the event of a more prolonged travel business recovery due to Covid-19.HotPlay is a revolutionary in-game advertising (“IGA”) company, which shall leverage proprietary Artificial Intelligence and harmonizing engagement between businesses and consumers. For the most part, in-game advertising is conducted by intermediate display ads and interstitials which games most likely ignore; however, the HotPlay technology seamlessly integrates native ads into games and enables client brands to insert non-intrusive and interactive digital coupons, redeemable through both online and offline channels. Brands can even track the conversion funnel from viewers to actual sales in real-time. Additionally, HotPlay helps game developers generate additional revenue streams by monetizing in-game real estate through advertising without compromising the integrity of the game. HotPlay has concluded contracts with a major retail POS platform and has and is in the process of licensing its Ad Tech to multiple video game developers, allowing advertisers to potentially address 27.8 million gamers in Thailand alone. Case studies demonstrated giving gamers real world value, in the form of promotional coupons, helps gamers retention rates. HotPlay is signing agreements to roll out the platform in several more countries in southeast Asia.Upon closing, the Company shall become a significant stakeholder in of Axion Ventures Inc. which is a majority owner of Axion Games Limited (“Axion Games”) and True Axion Games in Thailand. Axion Games, founded in 2006 and formerly known as Epic Games China, is an independent AAA game development studio and game publisher. Axion’s strength includes high production value – top-notch quality content developed by a team with a history of deep involvement in many record-breaking games including several famous titles from Epic Games. Axion’s latest large-scale PC title, Rising Fire, was a Tencent’s headline shooting game in 2018. Axion Games’ expertise and capabilities are extremely well-regarded among global industry players, and it has played a crucial role in developing content for multiple AAA titles all over the world. Axion Ventures Inc. is in the process of releasing several games in 2020 and 2021 through established publishing relationships with major publishers globally.Through the acquisitions, the Company plans to transition from a solely travel based company, to a travel company with gaming and in-game advertising company, with the goal of engaging consumers through digital advertising, gaming and travel platforms. We also contemplate these acquisitions enhancing the Monaker Booking Engine and NextTrip and Maupintour travel offerings through increased technology capabilities – including the adoption of artificial intelligence and blockchain – and access to additional technology talent in those areas to further revolutionize the Monaker travel brands.“We are thrilled with this opportunity to join forces with such large multi-national players,” said Bill Kerby, Vice Chairman & CEO of Monaker Group, who continued, “The acquisition of HotPlay and the minority ownership in Axion will represent a tremendous addition for our stakeholders and will position Monaker as a diversified global company that monetizes engaging, connective platform technologies.  We anticipate greater visibility and therefore success of Monaker’s travel brand upon the closing of the transactions, in addition to the contributions from what will be two new divisions of the company, (i) gaming and (ii) in-game advertising. Gaming and in-game advertising (IGA) are booming and the IGA application for travel advertising is expected to be substantial.”The parties have executed definitive agreements with a closing expected in the third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2020. Included in the HotPlay Agreement is the commitment by certain shareholders of HotPlay to loan Monaker Group $1,000,000 on or before August 31, 2020 and to continue making $1,000,000 loans on September 30, 2020, and each month thereafter through closing.

Cato Shatters SASE Speed Record

Published

on

cato-shatters-sase-speed-record

Cato doubles throughput without any hardware upgrades, underscoring the value of a fully cloud-native platform.
TOKYO, March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cato Networks, the SASE leader, announced a new SASE throughput record here at the Porsche Studio Ginza ahead of the 2024 Tokyo E-Prix, achieving 10 Gbps without hardware upgrades. At 10 Gbps, Cato became the first SASE platform to compete not only in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship but also to deliver SASE performance so powerful that the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team could transfer all the data of an entire Formula E season in under 2.5 hours instead of 3.5 days.

“We’re very excited to be partnering with the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team at the 2024 Tokyo E-Prix,” says Shlomo Kramer, CEO and co-founder of Cato Networks. “The incredible speeds of the Gen3 racecars are only matched by the unprecedented throughput of Cato SASE Cloud. With 10 Gbps, we enable enterprises to replace their data center firewalls and enjoy all the benefits of a true, cloud-native SASE platform.”
Cato SASE Speed Record Up to 3x Other SASE Solutions on the Grid
As SASE continues its upmarket movement, higher capacity connections become essential for meeting various business needs such as bandwidth-intensive applications (cloud storage and backup, disaster recovery), hybrid clouds connecting two parts of the data center for inter-application processing, and large campuses.
To meet those challenges, Cato is introducing 10 Gbps throughput on a single, encrypted tunnel. The doubling of Cato Cloud Interconnect and Cato Socket performance comes without costly hardware upgrades, typical of appliance-based architectures. Compute-intensive operations that usually degrade edge appliance performance — packet encryption/decryption, security inspection, and the like — are handled by multiple Cato Single Pass Processing Engine (SPACE) cores, concurrently processing real-time traffic within Cato PoPs (Points of Presence). Parallel network flow processing is also enabled within the Cato Socket to maximize throughput end-to-end.
By contrast, SASE solutions implemented as virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud or modified web proxies remain limited to under 2 Gbps of throughput for a single tunnel. Appliance-based SASE
solutions top out at just under 3 Gbps. The lower throughputs force enterprises to artificially split traffic within locations across multiple tunnels from the edge appliance to the SASE PoP, a layer of complexity and risk that does not exist in Cato SASE Cloud.
Tokyo: A Place for Fast Cars and Fast Networks
The 2024 Tokyo E-Prix is the perfect venue to highlight Cato’s breakthrough performance. In the fast-paced world of Formula E, every second counts. The sport is intensively data-driven, where teams rely on their IT networks to analyze data and make critical, split-second strategy decisions to achieve a winning edge. Multiple computers in the car produce 100 to 500 billion data points per event, with more than 400 gigabytes of data generated and sent back to the cloud for analysis.
With 16 E-Prix this season, many in regions lacking Tokyo’s developed infrastructure, the ABB FIA Formula E Word Championship presents an incredible networking and security stress test. Cato SASE Cloud provides fast, secure, and reliable access to the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, regardless of location.
Tokyo, Osaka, and soon Sapporo form the three PoP locations within Japan. Within Tokyo, three Cato PoPs service the region; another two PoPs service Osaka. A sixth PoP is opening in Sapporo. Should users or locations lose access to any one PoP, they would immediately fail over to one of the other PoPs in Japan, providing the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team and all Cato customers with incredibly reliable access in Tokyo – and across the globe.
