Latens’ software CA
systems are fully DVB standards compliant but offer more flexibility
and cost-effectiveness than legacy smartcard based systems. Latens
CA solutions are also DVB Simulcrypt compliant, so that operators
can not only deploy software based CA in new Pay-TV networks, but
also alongside existing DVB compliant CA systems on their existing
networks, and enjoy the increased functionality, business
flexibility and cost savings that Latens provide.
Latens next generation systems offer
proven scalability for large operators and also provide the
lower-cost base that is attractive for smaller operators that have a
complex infrastructure, including triple-play offerings, distributed
and hybrid networks.
The Latens
management team has many years of experience implementing DVB
broadcast systems, both as operators and technology suppliers. At
ANGA, Latens’ management team will discuss the main issues facing
cable, satellite and IPTV Pay-TV operators deploying software-based
CA and provide information about its upcoming contract announcement
of Latens CA being deployed at a large cable operator in the APAC
region and how it is enabling the protection of Multimedia Polska’s
advanced dual IP and cable network.
The Latens solutions demonstrated at ANGA include:
- Latens CAS, a next
generation, standards compliant conditional access system
optimized for the broadband digital cable market. The system has
been built on the knowledge and experience of the cable industry
that has been used to build standards designed by the DVB® and
Cablelabs. Latens CAS is a pure software solution which replaces
the proprietary smartcards or embedded set-top solutions of
traditional CAS vendors with a downloadable CAS system using
innovative Secure Software Modules. This provides a more
dynamic, secure anti-piracy strategy at a much lower cost.
Latens has designed the system with the flexibility to support
the diverse range of business models encountered in various
digital cable markets.
- Latens IPCAS, a
software-based CA system that has been specifically tailored for
the unique demands of larger IP network operators. The system
has been built using knowledge gained from the Pay TV industry
combined with new possibilities enabled by technical
improvements in software security, STB design and the
architecture of two-way networks. Latens IPTV CA solutions have
been designed to scale to protect operators with millions of
subscribers and is ideal for hybrid networks.
- Latens BCAS, a
next generation, DVB compliant Conditional Access System
designed for operators of broadcast cable, satellite and digital
terrestrial networks. BCAS is the first software-based solution
for networks without an always on return path and is still
presently the only such commercially available solution.
- Latens ECOsystem
integrates Latens IPCAS with head-end management tools and
established STB client middleware and browser technology to
provide a high-performance and open IPTV service delivery
platform which is primarily aimed at IPTV operators and cable
networks aiming to scale to 100,000 or millions of customers.
Latens ECOsystem enables network operators to provide advanced
secure IPTV services. This service delivery platform sets new
standards in viewer experience, flexibility, scalability and
performance to meet the needs of rapidly growing IPTV operations
worldwide.
