Verimatrix and Ocilion partner for secure IPTV delivery in Austria

June 5, 2019 08.36 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

Video security solutions provider Verimatrix and IPTV technology company Ocilion have gained two large Austrian network operators as their latest customers.

Kabelplus and Salzburg AG have each selected IPTV solutions from Ocilion that are secured by Verimatrix, enabling flexible and future-proof video delivery models. Both operators opted for on-premise deployments hosted in their distinctive infrastructures, using Ocilion’s new P400 family of 4K set-top boxes (STBs). The adaptable technology supports various delivery models, whether hybrid, FTTH or OTT, while the integrated Verimatrix client supports digital rights management (DRM) for IP, IP/DVB-C and OTT.

“Kabelplus and Salzburg AG came to us with unique challenges and needs that will grow and evolve as consumer demands and security requirements continue to rapidly shift,” said Hans Kühberger, CEO of Ocilion. “We are very pleased to fulfil their demands for increasingly sophisticated modern and high-end IPTV services with our future-proof on-premise solution, including our new P400 family and resolve complex security requirements in partnership with Verimatrix.”

The decision for Kabelplus, the largest cable operator in Lower Austria and Burgenland, to launch its own IPTV product resulted from the need to extend its HFC network with extra products and services offering new premium features and bundling options, and it came during the middle of an FTTH deployment.

When live-only DVB-C delivery was no longer enough to support Salzburg AG’s consumer demands, the Salzburg energy, transport and telecommunications provider turned to Ocilion and Verimatrix to set the foundation for it to be able to offer premium service enhancements and maximise upselling opportunities with long-term adaptability.

With these deployments, the Austrian operators are also laying the foundation for secure UHD ecosystems with OcilionsP400 line of STBs having received the Verimatrix 4.0 ultra security certification. This certification emphasises their readiness to fully meet UHD security requirements, ensuring that they meet UHD content guidelines set by MovieLabs’ specifications for next-generation video and enhanced content protection.

“Achieving Ultra Security certification means that Ocilion’s advanced STBs are trusted to deliver premium content to Kabelplus and Salzburg AG consumers at the highest quality possible and in accordance with the strongest security requirements specified by premium rights holders,” said Verimatrix COO Steve Oetegenn. “Ultimately, the combined strengths of Ocilion and Verimatrix presents a formidable barrier against piracy in a form that can be updated readily to ensure these operators are able to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape.”

White Paper – Smart Router: The Gateway to Next-Gen Services

Predicting the future may be folly but preparing for it is vital. With the growing consensus that the network edge is about to play a much bigger role in service delivery, operators need strategies now to prevent rivals from taking a lead and internet giants from locking them out of providing next-generation services.
