Conax provides conditional access for new generation television roll-out in Poland
Conax AS, a leading supplier of conditional access technology for digital TV, has signed a contract with ITI Holdings S.A. (ITI Group) (Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LSE): ITIH.LU), the leading Polish media and entertainment company, for delivery of conditional access solutions for launch of ITI Group's new generation digital platform.
Oct 16, 2006
The ITI Group is Poland's leading media and entertainment group, active in i.e. television broadcasting and production. Their new generation television offering, branded "n", was launched on 12 October 2006. The "n" programming offer includes 7 different thematic packages, one of them being the "information & entertainment" package, consisting of more than 200 of the most popular general entertainment and news channels of both international and Polish origin. "n" will be the first platform in Poland offering three channels which will broadcast in HD standard. Their clients will also be offered the possibility to subscribe to Video On Demand (VOD) Services.
To protect their digital premium TV offer, which will be accessible through satellite, ITI Group has adopted the Conax CAS7 end-to-end conditional access solution, built on Conax's strong security technology platform and long experience. Conax has gained a strong position in Poland and their systems are already in use by several Polish cable operators.
"Conax has been providing their security solution in the Polish broadcasting market for some years now, and we know them as a solid company with state-of-the-art content security systems. Their ability to deliver flexible solutions and meet the demands that we had to the Set-Top-Box involved in this project were also reasons for our choice of Conax as our partner on the security side", says Maciej Sojka, President of ITI Neovision (a wholly owned subsidiary of ITI Group).
"ITI Group is known for its investments in new technologies and we are delighted to be selected to provide the content security for their new digital platform with a unique program offer including broadcasting of HD channels and subscription VOD service not earlier available in Poland. This contract strengthens our position in Poland, giving us the opportunity to take part in the development of the satellite as well as the cable market in the country," says Geir Bjørndal, COO and VP, Sales & Marketing, Conax AS.
