CANAL+ And Kudelski Announce Swiss Partnership

CANAL+/CANALSAT Switzerland and Nagravision have announced a new partnership on content and revenue security for the upcoming launch of CANALSAT and CANAL+ high definition channels.
CANAL+/CANALSAT Switzerland selected Nagravision's latest Nagra Media Access conditional access system to provide their subscribers with access to high definition content delivered via satellite.
Nagravision's system allows CANAL+/CANALSAT Switzerland to not only secure their new high definition service for live broadcasts, but also to offer innovative features over time such as time-shifted television (which allows viewers to pause and restart a live programme) and start-over television (which allows viewers to restart a programme which is already in progress).
In order to ensure that only authorised subscribers have access to the new service, the new CANAL+/CANALSAT smartcards provided by Nagravision will not be compatible with those already securing the CANAL+/CANALSAT service in France and in territories serviced by CANAL Overseas.
Jo Guegan, Deputy Chief Technical and Information Officer, said: "We are always on the lookout for new solutions to secure our content and our partnership with Nagravision is fully in line with this effort. We are very pleased to extend our relationship Nagravision, a company whose technology provides the best security for our content and ensures peace of mind for our content owners while allowing us to deliver the best programming to our subscribers."
Andre Kudelski, President and CEO of Kudelski Group, said: "Security is a moving target and we've invested heavily to ensure the highest level of protection for our customers' content and revenues, whether it's through our smartcards, interactive applications or information and subscriber management systems.
"We are thrilled to extend our close partnership with CANAL+ Group today after more than 22 years of active collaboration."
