NEOTION achieves a World-first in the CI Plus ecosystem.

Neotion is the very first company in the world to successfully complete and pass CI Plus certification for a so-called Advanced Module.

While for a decade DVB-CI Modules have been essentially designed to bring removable conditional access to mainstream consumer electronics devices - being primary TV sets and set-top boxes - the CI Plus Specification adds at last tremendously richer user interface and strong copy-protection means for valuable Pay TV, VOD and HDTV contents.

Neotion, which has already been CI Plus qualified for its newer secure silicon CAM Module, has now set the innovation even further by getting CI Plus approval for its secure Pocket NPR breakthrough platform. In other words, Operators, being Pay TV broadcast and Telcos, could not only protect and secure access to their packages, but also drastically increase their ARPU whilst lowering the Churn, by offering - from the CI Plus Advanced Module - consumer killer applications comprising Time-Shifting, Digital Record, Push VOD, IPTV & Progressive Download, Catch-up TV and MediaCenter like Connected TV.

"Neotion is hereby emphasizing its strong commitment towards CI Plus which has the drivers to drastically change the way the whole Pay TV experience gets deployed in a now TV centric, and therefore horizontal, Market pattern" said Loïc Bernard, CEO.
