Comvenient Acquisition

Team from Comvenient Adds Strength and Depth to VCAS Solution Family for a New Approach to DVB CA

Verimatrix is proud to announce the acquisition of Comvenient GmbH, a premiere producer of DVB conditional access (CA) technology. Verimatrix and Comvenient have been long-term partners in the development of the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™) for DVB security solution, and the acquisition greatly expands the company's ability to penetrate this market with an innovative approach to traditional CA technologies for digital TV operators around the globe. The new relationship provides the framework for the seamless integration and marketing of Comvenient's technology and expertise within Verimatrix solutions.

Comvenient has a distinguished record in the industry and has supplied advanced DVB conditional access systems to more than 100 operators since the company was formed in 2003. The company entered a strategic relationship with Verimatrix in November of 2008 to generate cross product synergies. Verimatrix is now able to market an expanded range of DVB security solutions within the VCAS family, with the goal of providing secure and scalable solutions for a wide range of platforms. DVB operators will have access to the fullest range of potential secure client devices from a single security head-end to support their business objectives, including new breeds of cardless set-top boxes (STBs), hybrid IPTV STBs and hybrid Internet TV devices. The combination of the Verimatrix widely adopted solutions for IP based content protection and Comvenient's long term expertise in the DVB sector places the combined company in the forefront of future technology development. The combined company will utilize the existing Comvenient headquarters in Munich as the Verimatrix high security development and support center.
