Pioneering Latin America IPTV Operator Telefónica del Sur Grows From Strength To Strength

Software Conditional Access and Middleware company Latens has announced that Telefónica del Sur (Telsur), Chile's pioneering telecommunications company now have over 25,000 subscribers.
One of the most innovative and leading providers of quad play services in Chile, Telsur offers a combination IPTV, Voice, Internet and Tele-Vigiliance services.
In partnership with Latens, Telsur has revolutionised the TV landscape in Latin America. Launched in July 2007, Telsur's WITV IPTV service is now in the second phase of deployment which sees the company heavily investing in upgrading and expanding its network, IPTV services and feature set.
Telsur offers 120 channels of standard definition digital TV with Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), Parental Control and Video on Demand (VoD) capabilities. Latens software only Conditional Access (CAS) is highly integrated with Telsur's IPTV partners including Minerva's ITV middleware, set-top boxes from Amino and in-home multimedia distribution from Ruckus.
Robert Massé, Gerente de Tecnologia de Telefónica del Sur, said: "Latens has been an invaluable partner throughout Telsur's entire IPTV deployment and growth phases, helping us to overcome many problems and to become a leading IPTV provider. As a software only solution, Latens CAS has allowed us to grow rapidly and scale without risk."
Latens software-based CAS provides operators of IPTV, Cable, DTH, DTT and Hybrid networks with the most advanced content and revenue protection. Unlike traditional legacy systems, Latens software CAS uses dynamically renewable technology which provides many advantages to operators over traditional smart-card based solutions.
Using renewable technology allow operators to be confident of protecting revenue streams whilst reducing operational expenditure (OPEX). In addition, Latens software-only CAS allows Pay-TV operators to follow a business model that reflects regional requirements, without the additional capital expenditure (CAPEX) imposed by smart-cards.
Alex Borland, Business Development Director at Latens, said: "Securing the content of one of the leading IPTV providers in Latin America is a great endorsement of Latens software CAS. We are proud to be working closely with Telsur as it further develops the network and are looking forward to continuing to support Telsur by protecting content and enabling the innovative company to grow its subscriber base."
