Latens and ZyXEL to offer CA security and STB solution for IPTV operators
Latens, a provider of software-based Conditional Access for Pay-TV and IPTV operators, and ZyXEL Communications, a supplier of end-to-end broadband access solutions for service providers, businesses and home users, today announced that the two companies have partnered to offer IP/hybrid set-top box (STB) solutions.
"The integration of Latens CA with ZyXEL's STB-1003 and STB-1001H devices enhances the abilities to provide IPTV operators with a highly secure, flexible platform on which to deploy advanced services both now and in the future," said Dr. Herman Chen, Assistant VP of IPAV product division at ZyXEL Communications. "This partnership enables us to provide operators with an STB that can offer industry leading levels of content and revenue protection and can support all IPTV business models, however complex. Furthermore, Latens' solutions allow the operator to upgrade and develop its offering in the future without causing disruption to existing services, leading to increased QoS levels and improved subscriber experience."
"We are delighted to have formed this partnership. It enables ZyXEL to provide a robustly secure set-top box with the power and flexibility to ensure that operators can launch IPTV services that scale efficiently in terms of customer-base, complexity and breadth of service offering," said Jean-Paul Heron, Client Integrations Manager, Latens. "The integration was made far simpler through the utilization of our new toolkit, Latens STIK. The advantages of STIK do not end at integration; STIK also makes it much simpler for Latens and ZyXEL to control and upgrade security and other STB functionality. I am very confident that Latens will enjoy a close partnership with ZyXEL, providing IPTV operators with secured STBs, both now and in the future."
