become the technology of choice for mobile applications. Android is fully
adaptable to changing standards ad requirements since it can incorporate new
cutting edge technologies as they emerge.
“Delivering the best user
experience while protecting our customers’ intellectual property and premium
content is of paramount importance to us,” said Dominique Jodoin, Bluestreak
Technology CEO and President. “With this partnership, we can guarantee the security
of content delivery to all of our customers as well as a smooth usable user
interface for end users. Our continued commitment to rendering visually
compelling applications that delight users while protecting our customers is
the reason why our mobile TV solutions are enjoyed by millions of wireless
subscribers today.”
“SafeNet’s partnership with
Bluestreak Technology further extends our DRM leadership in mobile
technology—this combined solution has already been field-tested and will be
delivered to a major operator,” said Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson, managing director,
Embedded Security Solutions, SafeNet. “By uniting our complete DRM solution
with Bluestreak Technology’s award-winning mobile TV applications, we not only
protect their customers’ premium content, but we also enable new and secured
ways of bringing entertainment to mobile users hence opening new avenues of
delivering premium content to the mass market.”
The secure premium movie solution
supports multiple DRM technologies for protection of premium content including
full-track music and video content over broadband, mobile, and online networks.
This joint solution is available today and runs on a wide variety of devices
including Android-enabled phones, next generation tablets, and consumer electronic
devices.
