Conax wins DVB-T deal in Thailand
Conax AS, a leading supplier of conditional access technology for digital TV, has signed an agreement with TVT Broadcasting Co. Ltd. for securing their digital terrestrial transmissions to the Thai market.
Sep 2, 2005
The new digital network will be managed by TVT Broadcasting Co. Ltd (TVT), a newly incorporated company that comprises of Thai TV Broadcasting Co. Ltd. (TTV), Nation Broadcasting Corporation Co. Ltd. (Nation) and Media Cast Co. Ltd., whereas TTV is providing the digital DVB-T network, Nation is providing the content, and Media Cast is the technology company responsible for the network upgrade from analog to digital.
TVT will offer 16 channels of various entertainments such as news (Nation Channel), sport, movies, series, music and variety. The launch of the new network was set to the end of August, when Nation Channel celebrated its 5th Anniversary.
TVT will use the Conax CAS7 including the BMS and Data playout manager for secure transmission and handling of its subscriber base. Conax CAS7 is built on Conax's strong security technology platforms, which allows a digital TV operator to start with a basic system supporting pay-TV, and then build on new modules and additional components to enhance and support more complex operations and business models.
"We have evaluated many brands in the market place and find Conax's solution to be the most secure, future proof and value for money", says Mr. Adisak Limprungpatanakij, President of Nation Broadcasting Corporation.
"There are 7 broadcasters in Thailand, but TVT on the TTV's network is the only one that can offer up to 24 channels. TVT will therefore be the second service provider in Bangkok after UBC, which have been dominating the market over the past 8 years. We look forward to working with TVT, helping them to successfully launch their services", says Mr. Raza Ansari VP Asia, Conax AS.
