This solution enables fully encrypted end-to-end delivery of satellite television to customers living in MDUs by integrating the IDC Digital Tattoo DTH Over IP Gateway with the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS) for DVB, featuring cardless content and revenue security for broadcast (one-way) networks. DTH operators will then be able to use this solution to partner with ISP wireless provider Telco and offer a triple play package of television, internet and voice-over-IP.

“This provides the basis for new value-added services for DTH operators and helps them access previously hard-to-reach customers,” Verimatrix Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Steve Oetegenn said in a statement. “In addition to increasing the ARPU (Average Revenue Per User), it eliminates in-building signal theft and allows users to select their own programming packages. Achieving subscriber and ARPU growth, while reducing churn and simultaneously enhancing revenue security, is a magic mix in this market.”

An Asian DTH Provider has already launched Digital Tatoo to IP set-top-boxes with integrated Verimatrix conditional access, resulting in cost efficiencies and a quick time-to-market.
