Tele2Vision selects Conax CA solution for their digital TV platform

Swedish Tele2Vision, part of the Tele2 Group, has ordered a turn-key solution for their digital IP video platform from the broadband technology group Teleste. Teleste will act as a systems integrator in the project, managing all third party product compatibilities. Conax has been selected to provide the conditional access solution for this TV platform.

Tele2Vision will start offering digital TV services, in addition to their previous offering, and the backbone transport of the services takes place over an IP network. The digital platform will be implemented during 2006.

"Conax is very pleased and honoured by being chosen as the provider of the content security solution for Tele2Vision digital TV platform", says Geir Bjørndal, COO and EVP of Conax AS. "The fact that Tele2Vision has selected Conax proves once again that also the large operators value our technology, the excellent security track record, as well as our flexible and modular solutions. We look forward to providing them with the content security solution needed for a successful launch of new digital TV services," he adds.
