Discretix partners with castLabs to offer combined OMA BCAST mobile TV client/server solution
Discretix, a provider of embedded security and DRM (Digital Rights Management) solutions, and castLabs, a mobile broadcasting technologies and services company, have announced a technology partnership with mobile broadcasting technologies. The partnership brings together two prominent technologies of the fast-growing mobile TV segment-Discretix' Multi-Scheme MobileTV Security Client and castLabs' OMA BCAST Service Delivery Platform-creating a robust, quickly-implemented client/server mobile TV solution built upon OMA BCAST standards.
castLabs' carrier-grade OMA BCAST Service Delivery Platform is a comprehensive head-end product for use by mobile TV operators. The server-side platform includes key features such as Electronic Service Guide (ESG) management, offer management and Conditional Access (CA); it also supports convergent TV services using Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS), 3G streaming and IPTV.
Like castLabs' platform, Discretix' Multi-Scheme MobileTV Security Client supports OMA BCAST DRM Profile, Smart Card Profile and DVB-H IPDC 18Crypt. The Discretix client secures the distribution and consumption of mobile TV broadcasts over a wide range of mobile devices, all with complete user transparency and no degradation in broadcast performance or playback time.
"The combination of castLabs' and Discretix' products removes implementation risk and reduces time-to-market for handset OEMs and service providers," said Edo Ganot, Executive Vice President of Sales and Business Development for Discretix.
"This strategic partnership enables mobile network operators to deploy a ready-made solution with broadest possible device support, highest levels of flexibility and assured performance", said Michael Stattmann, Managing Director of castLabs. "Discretix´ Multi-scheme clients and castLabs´ Service Delivery Platforms are setting the standard for Mobile TV security and DRM in the international market of today."
