Karneval Media, Conax sign agreement
to start digital operation
NORWAY
-- Conax AS, a leading supplier of conditional access
technology for digital TV, recently signed an agreement
with Karneval Media, a cable operator in the Czech Republic,
starting digital operation this year.
Karneval
Media has decided to offer digital TV services. It will
secure its services with Conax CAS7 conditional access
technology, using a service model concept where Conax
takes full responsibility for the system.
Robert
H. Gardner, CEO, Karneval Media, said: "Conax's
experience in offering conditional access as a full
service package was the main reason for our decision
to adopt its technology. Together with its strong position
with cable operators in Central & Eastern Europe,
its commitment to service for medium-sized companies,
and its willingness to stand behind the security of
product, we believe Conax is the best choice for Karneval
Media."
Ernst
D. Thue, president and CEO, Conax AS, added: "We
are extremely happy and proud that Karneval has selected
Conax as its partner in conditional access. Conax will
be much more than a supplier of encryption technology
and accept a significant responsibility in maintaining
a secure Digital TV system for Karneval Media. We expect
many operators in Central and Eastern Europe to follow
closely what happens in this field and recognize Conax's
leading position in Central and Eastern Europe."
