Scientific Atlanta, a Cisco company, has introduced its new advanced program receiver (Model D9854), Scientific Atlanta announced April 16.

The receiver is designed for widespread flexibility to service providers through support of multiple conditional access (CA) systems, and a streamlined path for delivering more video over existing satellite bandwidth using DVB-S2, the second-generation standard for digital video broadcasting via satellite.

CA systems control the ability of users to view programs such as those offered by cable television and pay-per-view operators.
