AUBAGNE — My‐HD, a leading satellite Pay‐TV platform in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has selected NEOTION as a technical partner for the launch of their latest Premium High Definition offer. A close collaboration started several months ago between the two companies to provide a suitable Pay‐TV solution matching with My‐HD’s high security level requirements.

My‐HD and NEOTION are proud to introduce the first Cardless solution in MENA with IRDETO Cloaked CA embedded in a Conditional Access Module (CAM). NEOTION was a pioneer in Cardless solution integration on the CAM with Irdeto and confirms its strategic approach with this first development of “Unified Client” software CA solution. My‐HD CAM using Irdeto Cloaked CA solution with a unified hardware and software security client, constitutes the best alternative to Set Top Boxes (STBs).

Combining NEOTION security know‐how with CAM technology and IRDETO Cloaked CA solution, My‐ HD has all the elements to propose an innovative and cost effective Pay‐TV solution to its subscribers. The operator also affirms its strategic decision to meet consumer demand for premium entertainment over its region.

My‐HD service offers over 37 HD channels including 9 MBC HD channels in addition to exclusive pay TV rights for American and Filipino entertainment – a total of 42 TV Channels, this bouquet is broadcast across 22 MENA countries with a potential coverage of 170 million people.

Through this innovation, My‐HD subscribers will benefit from an enhanced experience; green, secure, smart and small device and one remote control.

NEOTION and My‐HD together enable a new way to experience TV!

“Although entering the MENA market has proven to be challenging, with an established and experienced partner such as My‐HD the process has been easier and given us the confidence to succeed together!” commented Steven Deschryver, Sales Manager MENA.
