Moscow's Corvette Telecom and City TV Secure IPTV Content

Verimatrix, setting the standard in content security technologies that enhance the value of pay-TV networks, announced at CSTB 2007 that Corvette Telecom and its subsidiary, City TV, have selected the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System to provide digital video content security throughout their new IPTV network. Corvette telecom is launching the IPTV and Video-on-Demand services under the City TV brand name in 2007 to meet growing demand for sophisticated entertainment options.

Corvette is building last mile fibre networks in Moscow, offering customers broadband Internet connectivity at up to 100 mb/s and is expected to reach more than 600, 000 homes by the end of 2007.

Corvette's new IPTV platform will provide its customers with a full range of pay-TV services, supported by network PVR functionality with stop, start and rewind of live TV. In addition subscribers will have access to compelling on-demand content, including Hollywood, independent and Russian feature films, as well as music, children's and lifestyle programming.

Bundling these services into its Internet access packages will enable the company to effectively compete in a rapidly-evolving market. Integrating VCAS with its IPTV platform ensures Corvette is able to provide the highest level of copyright protection to content owners for the premium digital video content that it will offer to its subscriber base.

VCAS was designed from the ground up for two-way and hybrid networks. Cryptographic and e-commerce technologies proven on the Internet, including PKI and X.509 certificates, enable VCAS to offer a more sophisticated level of content protection than traditional smartcard-based systems. Devices and systems within media delivery networks are encrypted and authenticated in order to identify security breaches and unauthorized network users.
