IBC Expo, Amsterdam, September 5th: Conax, a leading provider of solutions for
protecting multi-device content distribution, announced today that Finnish Cable
and Terrestrial operator, DNA, has entered a multiscreen pilot with partners
Conax, Cubiware, MPS Broadband and Envivio. The pilot will include end-user
testing with various multiscreen services and devices. It will also address the
operational processes and procedures required for DNA to support advanced
multiscreen services, and to prepare DNA on the path to the emerging over-the-
top market. Together with DNA, the partners will explore the features and
functionality of the Conax Xtend Multiscreen(TM) solution.
-"Conax is very excited to be chosen by long-time customer DNA to participate in
this very exciting multiscreen pilot project, says Tom Jahr, EVP Products and
Partners, Conax. Conax is already providing DNA with best-in-class security and
is looking forward to working closely with DNA, and partners Cubiware, MPS
Broadband and Envivio to assess feasibility, functionality and price/performance
for positioning DNA in the evolving market within OTT content distribution."
Multiscreen background
The Conax partnering strategy includes combining complementary technologies in a
pre-integrated solution to remove operator risk of untested product combinations
for reduced cost, time-to-market and smooth transition to new advanced services
for connected devices. Conax Xtend Multiscreen(TM) combines Cubiware's flexible
middleware for advanced user interface technologies, MPS Broadband's MPS
Publishing Platform(TM) for publishing and managing video content and Peer2View®
for distribution acceleration, Envivio's encoder technology and Conax' proven
record within security.
- Mikko Saarentaus, Business Director (TV&VAS), DNA, "DNA sees the future of TV
to be about multiscreen service. This pilot gives us a great opportunity to
learn about the end users' impression on multiscreen services and to better
understand the customers' needs and how they like to use the services. The DNA
team will work closely with the pilot partners to address the operational
processes and procedures required for DNA to offer integrated support for
delivering advanced services to connected devices such as hybrid client devices,
tablets and smart phones and position our operations for growth within over-the-
top content distribution."
Conax' benchmark pre-integrated Conax Xtend Multiscreen(TM) partner solution has
the potential to set a new standard in terms of price/performance for
multiscreen solutions in the industry - dramatically reducing operational
complexity and cost and time-to-market for the delivery of content through
