Building on their existing relationship, the agreement will see NDS integrate its VideoGuard™ encryption technology with the new platform to ensure that the operator’s service remains uncompromised.
“We pride ourselves on our unblemished track record for securing pay-TV services around the world and we are pleased to be extending our relationship with Telekom Austria in this new venture” said Yves Padrines, VP, Business Development at NDS and General Manager NDS GmbH.
“There are exciting times ahead and we are reassured in the fact that our service remains secure” commented Walter Goldenits, CTO Telekom Austria TA AG. “We look forward to continuing our work with NDS and trust in the company’s expertise in integration to provide a seamless transition.”
NDS has provided the security for Telekom Austria’s IPTV service since 2005.
