CES: Verimatrix Lands French Telco for Content Security

Verimatrix Inc., a maker of security packages for pay-TV systems, today announced Bouygues Telecom, a French triple-play provider, is deploying the vendor’s Video Content Authority System (VCAS) for IPTV software.

The operator is using VCAS to secure its MPEG-4 live broadcast and on-demand video content delivered via ASDL to the Bbox home gateway, which was launched in October 2008, according to the vendor.

The news was announced at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Neither the length nor the value of the deal were provided.

Bouygues Telecom has deployed an IPTV system combining the services delivered by two major head-ends in France. The TV channel lineup is a combination of several free-to-air and premium pay channels, including the main provider of premium channels in the French market.

Verimatrix said it enabled Bouygues Telecom to market the solution in an extremely short time frame, crediting VCAS for IPTV’s integration capabilities.
