Our customers
NDS customers include many of the world’s leading pay-TV and mobile
operators, as well as content providers. These include
DIRECTV, BSkyB, Sky Italia, Viasat, Foxtel, CCTV, Tata Sky, Premiere,
Astra, Canal Digital and many others. In fact, NDS serves several dozen
platforms worldwide.
Until recently, many operators simply delivered content using one method
such as satellite, cable TV, IPTV, or wireless/mobile.
But today’s operators want to deliver content securely to subscribers
using multiple distribution methods in order to reach multiple devices.
They want to keep their customers happy while generating greater revenues
from their content investment.
This new generation of market leaders need the right combination of wired
and wireless technology, embracing hybrid solutions that combine traditional
broadcasting with On-Demand services as well as content from the Internet.
The new reality is called convergence, and NDS has already developed solutions
to help operators succeed with the opportunities and challenges
inherent in convergence.
