Latens' latest generation dynamic Conditional Access System A conditional access system (CAS) is a system by which electronic transmission of digital media, especially satellite television signals through cable, is limited to subscribed clients. This is called conditional access.  (CAS) is a pure software security solution that protects operators' content and revenues.

"Conditional access in an all-software form is a cost-efficient and time saving feature for service providers," said Phil Thompson, mPhase Technologies executive vice president- Product Management. "The open architecture of the TV+ System is specifically designed to incorporate value-added capabilities like Latens CAS as part of our carrier-class turnkey offer to telecommunications operators looking to improve their return on investment in broadband technology with IPTV services."

The Latens CAS utilizes a downloadable software strategy, offering greater security levels at lower cost than that possible with proprietary smart cards or embedded set top box solutions. In addition, Latens' dynamic security increases an operator's flexibility and, because it is standards-compliant, the software does not lock the operator to a single set-top box (STB See set-top box.

"It's particularly pleasing to have mPhase as a partner, as it has the same philosophy and approach for how to best serve IPTV operators as ourselves," says Jeremy Thorp, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"A major part of this approach is the belief that it's crucial for the operator to be able to cost-effectively get 'under the hood' of the IPTV platform to continually enhance the IPTV consumer experience - this is exactly what Latens and mPhase are enabling through the Latens secured mPhase TV+ System."

With an integrated Latens CAS, the mPhase TV+ System offers IPTV service providers a scalable and flexible option for cost-effectively managing content authentication and quickly defining and provisioning packaged content offers. The key advantage is operational savings with Latens' all-software solution as compared with STB smart cards, which are costly to maintain in inventory and inefficient to replace.
