Conax launches Conax Cardless to global market, and Conax Connect partner program at IBC2013
Continuing its new direction; Conax expanding its future-proof Conax Contego client portfolio with Cardless CA for STBs and the new partner program Conax Connect
IBC 2013, September 13th, 2013: Conax, a leading global specialist in solutions for securing multi-device and digital video content revenues, revealed the details of its new Cardless CA solution at a press briefing today at IBC Expo. On a roll, senior executives from the content security provider also introduced a new comprehensive global partner program, called Conax Connect. According to Conax CEO Morten Solbakken, Conax is continuing to step up the pace of the company's new direction with an exciting portfolio of new solutions and global initiatives. These include deployment of best-of-breed security solutions Conax Xtend Multiscreen, Conax Contego , Conax Secure Clients, and now with the further expansion of the Conax Contego client portfolio with Cardless CA for STBs. Further, with the introduction of the Conax Connect professional partner program, Conax invites partners to connect to the Conax ecosystem.
Introducing Conax Cardless to the global market
Fully integrated in Conax Contego , the new Cardless CA solution from Conax is expanding the Conax Contego client portfolio, meaning that Conax Smart Cards and Conax Cardless can seamlessly co-exist in an operator's ecosystem. Now operators can utilize a mix of Smart Cards and Cardless clients to easily differentiate between the security demands for various types of content and consumers in diverse and growing business models. This is a key market differentiator between Conax and competing security solutions which may require deployment of separate back-ends. Conax will continue to guide operators to determine which type of content would best benefit from Cardless or smart cards based on value of
content, threat scenario and required functionality.
Partnering with ALi Corporation for 1st Cardless chipset
The first chipsets to support the new Conax Cardless solution for STBs is a family of chipsets from ALi Corporation. To enable rapid development of Cardless STBs, Conax and ALi offer a reference design where the Conax Cardless security core is embedded. Conax will add support for other chipsets and continuously add functionality on an ongoing basis.
What is Conax Cardless CA and why now?
Conax Cardless is a conditional access product where the CA client runs inside a purpose-built secure area of the STB chipset instead of a in a physical smart card providing hardware root of trust. The high level of security provided by Conax Cardless has been made possible by utilizing the very latest technology in STB chipsets, providing sufficient hardware security mechanisms to enable secure implementation of the CA client.
Why launch Cardless CA now? says Tom Jahr, EVP Products & Partners, Conax. Conax security solutions have always been software-based. We have chosen smart cards as a means to distribute and protect our software. This is the most secure way, and Conax has been and will always be extremely focused on security. Recent development in chipset technology has introduced STB chipsets with increased security to a level where we as Conax are comfortable with. This has now enabled us to launch a Cardless solution inside a purpose built secure area of the chipset - and under the Conax brand.
Sales of Conax Cardless will in start November 2013. The product will be ready for mass production by Q1 2014 and we also have an exciting pilot planned from January 2014. Stay tuned for more information.
