The service leverages the Nagra Android Fast Track Program and utilises the Nagra Security Services Platform (SSP) and Nagra Connect content protection to deliver premium 4K UHD programming, interactive services and public OTT services. TBC’s 4K service gives access to more than 200 channels.

Jimmy Chen, chief executive officer, TBC, said: “Nagra has been a long-time partner to TBC and continue to show their commitment in providing a reliable and secure platform for our Android TV deployment, hence being our natural choice. Thanks to their robust content protection solutions for Android TV, we can now deliver a new premium 4K experience to our customers with advanced and interactive pay-TV services.”

With the Nagra Android Fast Track Program, operators like TBC can evolve their services rapidly to remain competitive against traditional and new competitors and benefit from a comprehensive portfolio of technologies to successfully shorten their time to market, enable new revenue streams and execute on the Android TV journey.”

The Nagra Android Fast Track Program offers support for operators looking to deploy Android TV services. Leveraging Nagra’s experience in Android-based OTT and hybrid TV deployments, it combines what the company says is a highly secure and fully featured ecosystem of technologies, partners and services to assist pay-TV operators in hybrid and OTT deployments and help them successfully execute on the Android TV journey.

The Nagra Security Services Platform is described as a flexible and modular backend security platform that takes CAS and DRM technologies to the next level enabling secure premium content delivery over any network to any device, with any business model. Nagra Connect is a single converged CAS/DRM client that fully supports the multi-network, multi-device, multi-use case reality of telco and cable providers to reduce complexity and improve performance.
