Business Wire
Continuing to gain momentum as a leader in premium content
security, INSIDE Secure (NYSE Euronext: INSD) today announced it is
working with Advanced Digital Broadcast (SIX: ADBN), a leading
provider of advanced solutions for the connected home, to create
secure, premium content iOS and Android™ mobile apps for operators.
The first deployment emanating from the partnership is for nc+, the
leading pay-TV platform in Poland.
ADB is using INSIDE’s downloadable DRM Fusion™ Agent client
software to secure nc+’s new GO apps for smartphones, tablets and
other mobile devices, and to enable secure over-the-top (OTT)
delivery of premium content to new and current subscribers.
“As Poland’s leading premium direct-to-home (DTH) operator, nc+
prides itself on offering the most technologically advanced
services,” said Jan Frelek, new business development director at
nc+. “Now, through our partnership with ADB and with downloadable
DRM Fusion Agent software embedded in the nc+GO mobile apps, we are
able to deliver premium content to our customers’ mobile devices,
such as Android and iOS phones and tablets.”
Over-the-top (OTT) content delivery is revolutionizing the way
video, television and other services are delivered to consumers. It
utilizes the Internet as the conduit rather than a service
provider’s own dedicated, managed IPTV network. It offers pay-TV
providers a way to retain existing subscribers by extending their
service to mobile devices. It also offers them a way to attract new
subscribers who are interested in watching premium content on
mobile devices.
“We needed a downloadable DRM solution for our premium content
mobile apps that just worked and did not compromise the content
owner or our operator customers in any way,” said Krzysztof
Bilinski, general manager and broadcast division head at ADB.
“INSIDE Secure’s downloadable DRM Fusion Agent fit the bill
perfectly because it is a proven technology that is trusted by the
major premium content owners. It also enables customers, such as
nc+, to offer secure OTT-based services to existing and prospective
subscribers wanting to watch premium content on mobile
devices.”
INSIDE’s downloadable DRM Fusion Agent client software offers
developers the critical Microsoft PlayReady, Windows Media DRM, OMA
DRM 2.X, and/or UltraViolet security they need to embed in their
mobile apps. A single application programming interface (API)
provides easy access to all the supported DRM technologies, which
can be chosen at compile time to save on costs. An additional Java
API is provided for the Android platform for Java application
integration. DRM Fusion Agent is pre-integrated with the iOS native
media player, and can be provided pre-integrated with third party
media players if additional media codecs and formats are
required.
“ADB is one of the world’s leading providers of pay-TV
solutions, and we are pleased to have them join the growing list of
system integrators, broadcasters, content providers, cable
operators and other customers that have chosen our downloadable DRM
Fusion Agent to provide premium content security for their mobile
apps,” said Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson, executive vice president of the
ESS business line at INSIDE Secure. “Consumers worldwide are
already using mobile apps with DRM Fusion Agent embedded in them,
and we look forward to working with ADB as they expand the
deployment of their mobile apps with additional customers around
the globe.”
