Orange Slovakia picks Viaccess-Orca for DRM tech

Orange Slovakia has selected Viaccess-Orca (VO) to power its Android TV offering. 

The platform utilises VO’s DRM solutions, which provides Orange Slovakia with security solutions for content protection and multi-DRM management to simplify the delivery of OTT streaming and IPTV services.

VO’s DRM includes robust security agents that are integrated with STBs running the Android TV operating system. It supports DRM technologies, including Microsoft PlayReady, Apple FairPlay, Google Widevine, and VO’s own in-house DRM technology.

Martin Lednár, service platforms and products manager at Orange Slovensko, said: “Introducing an Android TV offering enriches the television experience for our subscribers. However, it’s imperative that the content we’re delivering is well protected. VO’s DRM solutions are embedded in our headend and at the STB level to ensure end-to-end protection. VO’s DRM solutions have passed rigorous industry assessments, which gives us the confidence that our content is safe, even as piracy continues to evolve.”

Pierre-Alexandre Bidard, VP of partnerships and security products management at Viaccess-Orca, said: “Orange Slovensko has the prestigious reputation for operating a countrywide network covering 99% of the Slovakian population, and we’re excited to take its TV offering to the next level. Our one-stop-shop DRM solutions secure IPTV and OTT services, with deployment options on-premises and in the cloud, making them flexible, scalable, and future-proof.”
