HYBRID CONDITIONAL ACCESS SYSTEM AND

HYBRID MARKET
With the growth in the pay-TV market, an increase of
more than 45 per cent over the last decade, TV has
become an essential ingredient for telecom operators’
triple play offers. This has in turn led to the growth in
demand for hybrid services (IP for video-on-demand,
and DVB broadcast for live-TV) in regions where IP
bandwidth is insufficient for live-TV services.
According to IMS, the global market for hybrid set-top
boxes (STB) continues to grow, exceeding an estimated
15.1 million households at the end of 2008.
One of the telecom operator’s main concerns is to
optimise its return-on-investment on services such as
premium content by selling to a wider audience. In
addition, with the rapid growth in demand for high
definition TV (HDTV), telecom operators are keen to
avoid heavy investment in bandwidth and infrastructure
by providing HDTV through an existing broadcast
network with a high quality of service (QOS) and quality
of experience (QOE).
Piracy has for a long time now been a fact of life in the
broadcast environment, which means that telecom
operators need to select state of the art security
solutions in order to gain access to and protect their
premium content over a DVB network (DTH or DTT).

VIACCESS & ORCA JOINT HYBRID (DVB/IP) SOLUTION

YOUR CHALLENGES AND NEEDS
Telecom operators are seeking to extend their TV
footprint by providing secured premium pay-TV services
(including high-definition) to areas that are not eligible
for IPTV due to lower IP bandwidths. This will enable
them to increase their revenues and customer loyalty.
The combined Viaccess and Orca IPTV solution brings
together best-of-breed offerings from both DVB/IP
hybrid conditional access and the DVB/IP hybrid service
platform/middleware side into a pre-integrated, unified,
end-to-end hybrid solution.
