ARRIS Delivers Privacy Mode Encryption in D5(TM) Universal Edge QAM -- A Key Step Toward Accelerating U.S. MSO VoD Deployments
SUWANEE, Ga., Jan. 14 / -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced that it is now offering Video on Demand Privacy Mode Encryption for its D5 Universal Edge QAM (UEQ). Privacy Mode enables U.S. cable operators to easily encrypt their VoD programming, ensuring this content can only be viewed by authorized subscribers. The rising penetration of digital set top boxes has increased the importance of ensuring that VoD content is appropriately protected and that accidental viewing of inappropriate content does not occur. ARRIS Privacy Mode delivers an economic and scalable content security mechanism which will support continued VoD revenue growth by cable Multiple System Operators (MSOs) and increase the addressable market of the ARRIS D5 UEQ.
The ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM is a highly dense and flexible multi- service platform supporting Digital Broadcast, VoD and multi protocol Switched Digital Video (SDV). It is also fully hardware compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and M-CMTS standards today and will be fully compliant with a simple software upgrade available later in 2008.
"Privacy Mode encryption coupled with our existing DVB Common Scrambling and Simulcrypt processing engine provide cable operators with robust and scalable options for On-Demand content security," said Mike Caldwell, Senior Director of Product Management at ARRIS. "Operators need to dramatically expand their VoD offerings with more High Definition content that must be secured against unauthorized access, and the D5 UEQ is the ideal platform for these requirements."
