MRG Ranks Company in Top Position for Unprecedented Fourth
Consecutive Time
Verimatrix, setting the standard in content
security technologies that enhance the value of pay-TV networks, is
proud to announce that it has been confirmed as the global leader of
IPTV content security for the fourth consecutive reporting period.
Based on MRG’s bi-annual IPTV Market Leader Report, Verimatrix’s
content security solutions are the most-widely deployed with the
highest number of supported subscribers on a global basis.
Verimatrix also claims the number one position in the
highly-competitive European region. Since the report first debuted
in 2003, Verimatrix is the only IPTV vendor that can claim the top
position in its category for four times running. |

"Verimatrix
has increased its lead in deployed IPTV licenses in the latest
Market Leaders Report,” said Len Feldman, director of IPTV Analysis
for Multimedia Research Group. “In addition to continuing its streak
of number one wins globally, the company finished on top in the
European market for the first time, and was the only company that
finished in the top five in every other region.”
MRG’s IPTV Market Leader Report tracks the top 120 IPTV
hardware/software vendors in 24 regional sub-sectors based on the
installed base for six product areas. Based on MRG’s list of Top 25
Operators worldwide, Verimatrix’s solutions are deployed in 11,
which nearly quadruples its nearest competitor and gives the company
extremely strong growth prospects.
“MRG’s report reflects our sustained success in IPTV where we are
winning deployments in new regions, like South America, and
experiencing substantial growth from existing customers that see us
as a long-term partner,” said Tom Munro, CEO, Verimatrix. “As the
pay-TV market continues to recognize the benefits of an IP-based
network, we feel our 3-Dimensional Content Security solutions are
well-positioned to meet their needs.”
The award-winning Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™)
for IPTV is designed for telecommunications carriers, content
aggregators and resellers that must provide content security on
their IP networks for live broadcast and Video-on-Demand IPTV
services. The software-based content security solution eliminates
the vulnerabilities related to smartcard-based architectures through
the leverage of mature, proven two-way Internet security protocols,
a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) public/private key pair system and
X.509 digital certificates. A downloadable security system for IPTV
clients is not only more secure, it enables less expensive set-top
box hardware and can be updated or renewed as required to combat
pirate attacks. |
