ALi Corporation, a set-top box chipset provider, and Skardin, an STB manufacturer, have announced “record-high” shipments of Nagra-on-chip Security-certified STBs to South American operators in 2018.
ALi has established a long-term partnership with Nagra, a Kudelski Group company and an independent provider of content protection and multiscreen television — its secure chipset first received Nagra certification back in 2013.
With this technology in place, ALi and Skardin say they are able to meet the security standard required by first-tier operators.
