Latens
ROLLS OUT CONDITIONAL ACCESS SYSTEM
Latens, a developer of middleware and software-based secu-
rity solutions for IPTV and cable services, launched CAS 5, a
software-only conditional access system (CAS) compatible with
cable, DTH, DTT, IP and hybrid networks from a single headend.
The system aims to detects how set-top boxes are connected
to the access system and automatically allocates the entitlements and permissions. The the main benefit is that operators
will not have to invest in a new access system when expanding to
other network types or from one-way to a return path. The system
also supports a dual mode, which allows operators to manage
video network operations and leverage multiple vendors.
