Multimedia Polska is one
of Poland's most innovative and leading providers of triple play
services, offering a combination of Cable TV, Voice and Broadband
Internet in a single package. In partnership with Latens, Multimedia
Polska has revolutionised Pay-TV in Poland.
The hybrid DVB-C and IPTV network is both protected and enabled by
Latens' software Conditional Access (CAS) solution, which has
allowed Multimedia Polska to become one of the most pioneering
regional operators offering a range of advanced media services
including Video on Demand (VoD) and HDTV.
The Latens software CAS provides Multimedia Polska with a unique
solution that allows its Cable and IPTV networks to be secured from
a single headend. Latens CAS is highly integrated with Multimedia
Polska's IPTV and DVB-C infrastructure, including ADB set-top boxes
with MHP middleware from Osmosys and IPTV middleware from Minerva.
"This is another great milestone for Multimedia Polska and the
constant level of superior customer support provided by Latens gives
us a solid foundation for our customer focused service," says
Bartlomiej Kasinski, Strategy and Development Director, Multimedia
Polska.
"The unique flexibility provided by Latens CAS means that we can
easily upgrade our network and integrate new advanced services and
features without any disruption to our customers," he adds. "The
Latens solution can be scaled effortlessly and, as we continue our
predicted strong and sustained growth, I am confident that we will
benefit from the flexibility of Latens software CAS."
Latens software-based CAS provides operators of
IPTV, Cable, DTH, DTT and Hybrid networks with the most advanced
content and revenue protection. Unlike traditional legacy systems,
Latens software CAS uses dynamically renewable technology which
provides many advantages to operators over traditional smart-card
based solutions.
Using renewable technology allows operators to be confident of
protecting revenue streams whilst reducing operational expenditure
(OPEX). In addition, Latens software-only CAS allows Pay-TV
operators to follow a business model that reflects regional
requirements, without the additional capital expenditure (CAPEX)
imposed by smart-cards.
This high level of flexibility and affordable deployment costs has
contributed to Latens' success in becoming a leading provider of
software-based CAS.
"We are proud that Latens software CAS has played such a key role in
helping Multimedia Polska become one of Poland's leading triple play
providers," says Gary Else, Director of Strategic Alliances at
Latens. "Latens values its partnership with Multimedia Polska, as
the company continues to offer innovative and advanced Cable and
IPTV services in Poland, both now and in the future." |
