Irdeto, a leading expert in content and business model protection solutions and services, today announced an expanded relationship with Al Jazeera Sport, part of the Al Jazeera Network and a leading provider of sports TV services in the Middle East and North Africa. Irdeto will now protect Al Jazeera Sport’s premium content across its entire digital TV network and as part of the agreement, will source more than 500,000 Irdeto Smart Cards.
The expanded agreement between Al Jazeera Sport and Irdeto aligns with an aggressive, industry-wide drive in the Gulf to protect content and curb prolific sales of illegal TV set-top boxes that decrypt pay-TV channels. The Irdeto solution provides Al Jazeera Sport with a versatile, modular and scalable Conditional Access System (CAS) featuring the highest levels of protection available against the theft of content over their networks — including pay-per-view (PPV) and video on demand (VOD).
"Irdeto and Al Jazeera Sport have been successfully partnering in the Middle East for more than three years,” stated David Canellos, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Irdeto. “We are very pleased to expand on this strong partnership and look forward to continuing to support the success of Al Jazeera Sport as a leading pay-tv operator in the region.”
Serving more than two million subscribers in the region, Al Jazeera Sport has an existing relationship with Irdeto for the encryption of its Nilesat satellite transmissions through the company’s pedigreed CAS. The agreement will expand Irdeto's encryption services to two other satellites (Hotbird and Arabsat) so that content is protected for any subscriber accessing Al Jazeera Sport via any of the three satellites.
