NDS,
(Nasdaq:NNDS) the leading provider of technology solutions for digital
pay-TV, today announced that leading Israeli mobile operator Partner
Communications, part of Hutchison Telecom International, has chosen NDS PC
Show™ to deliver Video On Demand (VOD) securely over the Internet
for its newly launched content portal. By implementing NDS PC Show,
together with NDS Unified
Headend™, Partner Communications is able to provide Israeli
consumers who register on the website with a wealth of video content
that can be viewed on their PCs. The distribution of the content over
the Internet is being facilitated by the robust and reliable Content
Distribution Network provided by CastUP, an NDS Group company.
Partner Communications has almost three million mobile customers in
Israel. Its VOD portal went live on December 16, 2008 and offers
consumers an array of music, video, games and entertainment. The portal
will play a key role in Partner Communications’ bid to become an
end-to-end content and communications provider.
NDS PC Show provides the ideal solution for enabling the delivery of VOD
services and linear channels to PCs over the open Internet.
Incorporating the highly robust content protection of NDS’ VideoGuard
PC™, it allows subscribers to watch content via an operator’s
branded web portal.
NDS PC Show can easily integrate with an operator’s existing network and
back-office systems (such as billing, subscriber and content management
systems) or be provided as an end-to-end solution with pre-integrated
partner components. All of this is made possible by the NDS Unified
Headend, which provides a business management platform interface that is
pre-integrated with NDS PC solutions and enables operators to manage all
their services using one central system. This results in reduced
operational costs and delivers a seamless experience to subscribers,
regardless of the device they are watching.
Erez Paz, VP Marketing at Partner Communications, said: “The launch of
our online portal is a major element in our strategy to deliver advanced
content services to our customers.
