According to the
results of the audit, all areas of the DRM solution were rated as
robust at the “Criminal Enterprise Level”, the highest rating,
except for one area involving set-top box installation, which was
rated at the second highest rating of “University Challenge Level”.
The audit results were reportedly among the highest that Merdan
Group has given.
“DRM is a critical component of all IPTV systems, including
UTStarcom’s RollingStream end-to-end IPTV system, and we are very
pleased that our DRM solution has received such esteemed recognition
from one of the most respected security firms in the industry,” said
Dr. Qiang Li, chief scientist of UTStarcom.
“Selection of a DRM solution for any IPTV service is a complex
process, involving issues related to technology, business and
geopolitics. We will continue to take the ‘DRM-neutral’ position in
planning IPTV deployments,” added Dr. Li. UTStarcom reportedly has
no plans to offer its DRM solution as a standalone product. |
