Kudelski Group’s Nagra has extended its content protection partnership with the South African FTA DTH operator Openview.
Its cardless content protection solutions will continue to secure eMedia, Openview’s free-to-view (FTV) satellite platform. Commenting on the development, Antonio Lee, the COO of eMedia, owners of Openview, said: “Since launching our platform, we have reached 1.8 million active set-top boxes on the market, and Nagra has been instrumental in helping us get there.
“The ability to secure our platform with Nagra solutions has given us a competitive edge over other FTV services, giving us the ability to deliver affordable FTV content customised to our local markets.”
Thierry Legrand, SVP EMEA for Nagra, added: “We are excited to extend our content protection partnership with Openview and continue securing the eMedia service as it continues to grow.
“Our cardless solutions are recognised worldwide for their robustness and scalability and are the most widely deployed content protection technologies in Africa. We’re pleased to continue to support Openview as they deliver new and innovative services to their viewers and be their trusted partner in securing their FTV service in South Africa.”
