Conax technology can be integrated with complimentary technologies from over 300 suppliers worldwide. To deliver optimal security solutions locally, Conax builds alliances with regional partners to provide customers with local expertise and the freedom to select 3rd party technologies in their market.

"We are actively building relations both with new and existing customers wishing to upgrade to IPTV, and also major integration partners to deliver total solutions. Conax is currently working together with Thomson for the delivery of the IPTV platform and implementation of one project, further strengthening our strategy for delivering total customer solutions in local markets worldwide," says Geir Bjørndal, COO & Sales & Marketing Director, Conax.

The roll-out will include Conax's core product, Conax CAS7, and also Conax CAS7 for IPTV's security components to protect content such as geographically-targeted advertising. While partners furnish complementary solutions and integration for customer projects, Conax provides the technology to secure the operator's IPTV pay content and other revenue streams.

Conditional access is a small portion of an overall IPTV solution, yet employing a conditional access solution to secure content streams is implicit for operating a successful, revenue-generating IPTV solution.
