Verimatrix has
been ranked the global number one provider of IPTV content protection for the sixth
consecutive reporting period by Multimedia Research Group. In the analyst firm’s latest
semi-annual IPTV Market Leader Report, Verimatrix demonstrated its sustained growth
in the worldwide IPTV industry, and retained a significant margin in market share
above its competitors. In addition, Verimatrix was again the only company to rank
in the top four in each region.
MRG’s report tracks the top 100 IPTV vendors in 24 regional sub-segments based on
the installed base of six product categories in more than 700 IPTV operations. The
report confirms continued growth of subscribers reflected by increased deployments
of IPTV products in Europe, Asia, Rest of World, and especially in North America.
MRG’s report also tracks technology leadership as a means to identify future growth
for new applications, such as converged services and multi-platform content distribution
in complex international markets. Verimatrix is noted to have exceptionally strong
growth prospects due to the number of its tier one telco customers, many of which
are experiencing increased subscriber growth including TeliaSonera, Belgacom and Neuf
Cegetel.
The award-winning Verimatrix Video Content Authority System for IPTV is part of its
3-Dimensional Content Security approach for telecommunications carriers, service providers,
content aggregators and resellers that must provide content security on their IP networks
for live broadcast and video-on-demand IPTV services. The software-based content security
solution obviates the need for smart cards through the leverage of mature, proven
two-way Internet security protocols, a Public Key Infrastructure public/private key
pair system and X.509 digital certificates.
A downloadable security system for IP clients is not only more secure, it enables
less expensive set-top box hardware and can be quickly updated as required to combat
potential pirate attacks. VCAS for IPTV has been approved by all major studios for
protection of premium content as well as by all the major broadcasters including Disney,
Discovery, HBO, Showtime and ESPN. Verimatrix is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company.
