Latens CAS Release 5 Wins TelcoTV 2010 Vision Awards

Latens, a leading provider of software security solutions for Pay-TV across all networks, has reported that their CAS Release 5 has won in the Innovation in Conditional Access category at the TelcoTV 2010 Vision Awards at the 9th Annual TelcoTV Conference and Expo in Las Vegas.
This is the first time that Latens has won at the TelcoTV Vision Awards, which honour the most innovative and "visionary" new products, services and applications announced in the telecommunications industry in the past year. The prestigious TelcoTV Vision Award adds to the company's Queen's Award for earlier this year.
Joe Braue, Senior Vice President and Group Director for Light Reading, which produced the TelcoTV conference and exhibition, said: "This year's TelcoTV Vision Award winners clearly delivered products and services that enable profitability in a multi-screen world. Our judging panel was comprised of an elite team of service providers, journalists and analysts. They developed a short list of the best carrier video products and services for 2010 that operators should carefully evaluate in the coming year."
Latens CAS Release 5 is the latest version of Latens' software-only CAS for Cable, DTH, DTT, IPTV and Hybrid networks and is currently deployed to Cable and IP customers around the world. The solution enables content to be securely delivered across all broadband and broadcast platforms from a single headend to one-way, two-way DVB and/or IP networks. Latens CAS dynamically detects how Set Top Boxes (STBs) are connected to the CAS and automatically allocates the entitlements/permissions to it. This means that when an operator wishes to expand to other network types, or from one-way to return path, they will not have to invest in a new CAS system.
Latens CAS Release 5 also enables Telcos to have a unified rights management system across IPTV and Cable, all from one headend. This provides Telcos with the advantage of being able to run the federated model of having various operators managed from one system, thereby reducing costs. It also allows the operator to protect OTT services across multiple devices, providing a future-proofed content and revenue protection solution as well as reducing management costs through built-in automated network client and security monitoring.
The 2010 TelcoTV Vision Awards winners were announced before an audience of service providers and industry analysts, as well as technology and business press at TelcoTV 2010 on November 10 at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
