Verimatrix has deployed Video Content Authority System (VCAS) solution to secure MegaFon’s combined IPTV and over-the-top (OTT) video services.
MegaFon has more than 60 million subscriber accounts in Russia. The company leveraged its IP-based network as the foundation for deploying IPTV. MegaFon’s new offering was developed by MegaLabs, an arm of MegaFon for monetizing new products and technologies.
“The VCAS platform plays an important role in our new video service offering, since it not only ensures that we are adequately protecting our existing premium content service offering, but it also gives us the flexibility to easily extend this revenue protection to any services that we may add in the future,” said said Vitaly Starodubov, COO, MegaLabs.
The company worked with Verimatrix to deploy VCAS solutions that offer revenue security and protection techniques for both managed and unmanaged delivery networks to PC, phone, tablet and set-top box (STB) devices.
VCAS for Internet TV enables Megafon’s OTT broadcast (linear) and video-on-demand (VoD) service delivery to a range of screen types over wired and wireless networks. VCAS for Internet TV and VCAS for IPTV use a common rights management API to provide a single point of integration with business management systems that also enables super domain management across device types.
“We are delighted to provide revenue security for MegaFon and look forward to supporting the company’s delivery of combined IPTV and over-the-top services as it continues to grow subscribers rapidly,” said Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer at Verimatrix.
