Swarmio Media Holdings Inc. announced a distribution agreement with WestBridge Telecom (WestBridge). According to the terms of the Agreement, WestBridge will distribute Swarmio's Ember gaming and esports platform to its telco clients in the MENA region, with subscription revenues to be split between Swarmio, WestBridge, and participating telcos. Swarmio's Ember platform is a SaaS-based product that gives gamers access to an ultra-low-latency playing experience, exclusive competitive challenges and tournaments, unique digital content and products, managed communities, gamification and points system, online store, and gamer e-wallet.

Crucially, Ember enables gamers to purchase in-game digital content and other digital products inside the platform using alternative payment channels including gamer e-wallet and Direct Carrier Billing (DCB). This is especially important in markets such as the MENA region, where credit card penetration is low and 67% of adults remain unbanked or underbanked.
