TV+ System incorporates Latens card-free system to protect
content and prevent revenue leaks
Little Falls, NJ -- mPhase Technologies [OTCBB: XDSL] today
announced general availability of an integrated conditional access
feature to its flagship IPTV platform, the mPhase TV+ System™ ,
incorporating content and revenue protection software from Latens, a
leading provider of rights management and conditional access
solutions. Latens’ latest generation dynamic Conditional Access
System (CAS) is a pure software security solution that protects
operators’ content and revenues.
“Conditional access in an all-software form is a cost-efficient and
time saving feature for service providers,” said Phil Thompson,
mPhase Technologies executive vice president- Product Management.
“The open architecture of the TV+ System is specifically designed to
incorporate value-added capabilities like Latens CAS as part of our
carrier-class turnkey offer to telecommunications operators looking
to improve their return on investment in broadband technology with
IPTV services.” |

The Latens CAS utilizes a downloadable software strategy, offering
greater security levels at lower cost than that possible with
proprietary smart cards or embedded set top box solutions. In
addition, Latens’ dynamic security increases an operator’s
flexibility and, because it is standards-compliant, the software
does not lock the operator to a single set-top box (STB) hardware
supplier.
“It’s particularly pleasing to have mPhase as a partner, as it has
the same philosophy and approach for how to best serve IPTV
operators as ourselves,” says Jeremy Thorp, CEO, Latens Systems. “A
major part of this approach is the belief that it’s crucial for the
operator to be able to cost-effectively get ‘under the hood’ of the
IPTV platform to continually enhance the IPTV consumer experience -
this is exactly what Latens and mPhase are enabling through the
Latens secured mPhase TV+ System.”
With an integrated Latens CAS, the mPhase TV+ System offers IPTV
service providers a scalable and flexible option for
cost-effectively managing content authentication and quickly
defining and provisioning packaged content offers.
The key advantage is operational savings with Latens’ all-software
solution as compared with STB smart cards, which are costly to
maintain in inventory and inefficient to replace. The Latens CAS
features downloadable security modules that can be updated in
minutes either to respond to hacking activity or to pre-empt
hacking. This feature promotes fast recovery from security breaches
and reduces revenue leakage.
“With digital piracy an ever present threat to popular commercial
media, it is critical that we and our affiliates deploy only the
most effective systems to protect and track content distributed
across our networks,” said Dom Stasi, TVN Chief Technology Officer.
“Our evaluation of the Latens FCAS technology has shown it equal to
the challenge. The seamless implementation of Latens FCAS by TVN’s
VOD affiliates ensures that they will continue acquiring premium
content from TVN, and that our content will be secure.”
