well as operational deployment, the integrated solution offered by
SafeNet and Cardinal addresses the before-mentioned demands of both
operators and phone manufacturers.
“Tight integration of system capabilities is
essential to meet the demanding service level agreements (SLAs)
associated with a live services such as mobile TV,”
said Simon Blake-Wilson, managing director of DRM, SafeNet. “Together,
Cardinal and SafeNet are able to offer the complete range of
capabilities in a single, unified solution to address this challenge.”
SafeNet and Cardinal joint offering features:
Complete solution – offering encapsulation
and broadcasting, electronic service guides, purchasing, and
protection to avoid the cost and interoperability concerns associated
with integration of offerings from multiple parties
Scalable – available on a single server for
initial trials, and scaling to distributed deployments where multiple
operators and broadcasters share a common platform
Open standards – fully compatible with the
DVB-18Crypt standard for mobile TV protection, thus avoiding vendor
lock-in associated with proprietary solutions and partial
implementation of standards
Future proof – designed to support multiple
standards within a single platform so that operators do not need to
worry about choosing the right standard. Cardinal and SafeNet are
extending the solution to support the OMA BCAST smartcard profile
mobile TV protection standard
To further promote interoperability, Cardinal and SafeNet also offer the
solution packaged as a test server, so that secure mobile TV clients can
ensure standards compliance and interoperability.
