21(st) Convergence India, Delhi, India, January 17(th), 2013: Conax, global
provider of leading solutions for securing multi-device and digital TV services,
is celebrating 10 years of success in the Indian pay-TV market today with a
press briefing at 21st Convergence India highlighting the company's key success
factors in the country. According to Conax President and CEO, Morten Solbakken,
the company's dedication to pay-TV operators in India, personal service and
pioneering approach to the needs of the market and not least its renowned open
partnering policy for secure set-top-boxes are among key factors in the
company's continuing growth in India and around the globe. Conax' 24/7 global
support center is well-positioned in the heart of Delhi, with highly skilled
professionals and tools including the very successful Operational Security
Services that Conax provides to a number of key operators.
An early player in India, Conax has grown together with Indian operators and the
pay-TV market. The company boasts an open client device strategy that has led to
strong long-term relationships and the continuing confidence of Indian pay-tv
operators, including delivery of nearly 25 million security-certified devices
through a strategic network of set-top-box partners secured by Conax conditional
access solutions.
The company's client device strategy has brought to market a broad range of
security-evaluated set-top-boxes and choice of vendors for operators, ensuring
that operators can choose the best devices and price range for their operations
and are not locked into a single vendor.
"Conax' focus on India continues to secure new commitments and partnerships,
confirms Morten Solbakken, President and CEO, Conax. We won several new
customers and very large contracts in 2012 and have more in the pipeline -
operators looking to capitalize on the opportunities provided by Conax' secure,

products. Conax continues to strengthen an already exceptional record in
