Karneval Media, a leading Czech provider of cable television and high-speed Internet access services, has decided to start offering digital TV services. Karneval Media will secure their services with Conax CAS7 Conditional Access technology, using a service model concept where Conax takes the full responsibility for the system.
"Conax's experience in offering conditional access as a full service package was the main reason for Karneval's decision to adopt Conax's technology. Together with their strong position with cable operators in Central & Eastern Europe, their commitment to service for medium sized companies, and their willingness to stand behind the security of their product, we believe Conax is the best choice for Karneval Media," says Robert H. Gardner, CEO of Karneval Media s.r.o.
"We are extremely happy and proud that Karneval has selected Conax as its partner in Conditional Access. Conax will be much more than a supplier of encryption technology and will accept a significant responsibility in maintaining a secure Digital TV system for Karneval Media. We expect many operators in Central and Eastern Europe to follow closely what happens in this field and recognize Conax's leading position in Central and Eastern Europe", says Ernst D. Thue, President & CEO of Conax AS.
