Argentina. Grupo Express, one of Argentina's leading cable and broadband providers, selected Nagra to enable NOW Express, a new OTT streaming service to its customers on set-top boxes and portable devices.
The multi-display integrated hybrid solution, provided in partnership with BOLD MSS, a sales partner and distributor of Nagra solutions in Latin America, provides a comprehensive set of features including the secure provision of linear and deferred playback services, interactive applications, and integration with third-party OTT platforms, maximizing the utilization of NAGRA Multi-DRM and Contego's unified security platform; previously implemented.
"With NOW Express, our subscribers today have access to a feature-rich OTT streaming service across multiple devices," said Gabriel Forenza, CTO of Grupo Express. "By leveraging the advanced solutions and specifically the multi-DRM capabilities of our existing Contego platform, we were able to implement everything quickly, smoothly and efficiently."
"We are excited to support Grupo Express in launching new OTT services and help them expand their reach to Major Cities in Argentina," said Xavier Fustagueras, Senior Vice President of Sales for the Americas, NAGRA. "By adding NAGRA's multi-DRM capabilities to its existing platform, Grupo Express can offer an attractive service to a range of devices with the peace of mind that their premium content is secure."
For Grupo Express, NAGRA Multi-DRM is fully integrated into its existing NAGRA Contego platform and supports leading DRMs from industry devices and browser platforms, including PlayReady, Widevine and FairPlay. NAGRA's Contego platform is an existing all-in-one header for one- and two-way conditional access use cases that can be deployed on-site, from a private cloud or a public cloud; managed by the pay-TV operator or as a fully managed service.
