In the first deployment of the company’s Security Services Platform (SSP) and Connect client products with a telco provider in an IPTV environment, Nagra technology has been deployed by Telefónica to secure its Movistar IPTV service and 4K Ultra HD content.

The Nagra Security Services Platform (SSP) and Connect client solutions are designed to address conditional access security for IPTV linear TV, while meeting the Hollywood studio requirements for the protection of premium and enhanced content such as 4K Ultra HD. It offers Telefónica a single, 4K-ready content protection system capable of securing multiple devices types, from existing set-top boxes to next generation set-top boxes, as well as multiple use cases as required by the operator regarding live TV on Movistar.

The deployment is also designed to benefit content owners, ensuring them of the highest level of security for premium and enhanced content, such as 4K, and consumers, enabling access to new IPTV services in the operator’s newest markets, as well as to high-quality 4K content using a new generation of set-top boxes.

“We are proud that Telefónica has selected Nagra as its security partner for their worldwide IPTV deployments,” said Maurice Van Riek, SVP content and asset security for Nagra. “Together with the Connect client, Telefónica has a robust and comprehensive 4K and IP-ready content protection solution that can seamlessly deploy across device generations, regions and markets.”
