NDS, (Nasdaq:NNDS) the leading provider of technology solutions
for digital pay-TV, today announced that leading Israeli mobile
operator Partner Communications, part of Hutchison Telecom
International, has chosen NDS PC Show� to deliver Video On Demand
(VOD) securely over the Internet for its newly launched content
portal. By implementing NDS PC Show, together with NDS Unified
Headend�, Partner Communications is able to provide Israeli
consumers who register on the website with a wealth of video
content that can be viewed on their PCs. The distribution of the
content over the Internet is being facilitated by the robust and
reliable Content Distribution Network provided by CastUP, an NDS
Group company.
Partner Communications has almost three million mobile customers
in Israel. Its VOD portal went live on December 16, 2008 and offers
consumers an array of music, video, games and entertainment. The
portal will play a key role in Partner Communications� bid to
become an end-to-end content and communications provider.
NDS PC Show provides the ideal solution for enabling the
delivery of VOD services and�linear channels to PCs over the open
Internet. Incorporating the highly robust content protection of
NDS� VideoGuard PC�, it allows subscribers to watch content via an
operator�s branded�web portal.
NDS PC Show can easily integrate with an operator�s existing
network�and back-office systems (such as billing, subscriber and
content management systems) or be provided as an end-to-end
solution with pre-integrated partner components. All of this is
made possible by the NDS Unified Headend, which provides a business
management platform interface that is pre-integrated with NDS PC
solutions and enables operators to manage all their services using
one central system. This results in reduced operational costs and
delivers a seamless experience to subscribers, regardless of the
device they are watching.
Erez Paz, VP Marketing at Partner Communications, said: �The
launch of our online portal is a major element in our strategy to
deliver advanced content services to our customers. NDS Unified
Headend and NDS PC Show will play a key role because they allow us
to deliver great video content to PC users while protecting content
owners� rights, as well as minimising operational costs.� He added:
�I�m confident that NDS technology will help us to build an
innovative web-based video business that will excite our current
customers and attract new ones, giving them the content and the
flexibility they want.�
David Nabozny, NDS Chief Sales Officer, commented: �The
development of innovative technologies that enable people to enjoy
TV content at any time and on any device is at the core of our
strategy. It makes good commercial sense for mobile operators to
broaden their offerings and provide high-value video and other
entertainment content over the internet, and NDS is proud to help
Partner Communications to provide such a rich media experience to
its customers.�
NDS PC Show is based on market-leading NDS VideoGuard�, the
pay-TV industry�s most advanced suite of conditional access (CA)
and digital rights management (DRM) solutions. Over 60 pay-TV
operators around the globe trust NDS technology to protect their
valuable content in an aggregated 95.4 million active devices.
In addition to securing content delivery to PCs, VideoGuard also
protects and enables content consumed on SD and HD STBs, DVRs,
mobile phones, portable media players (PMPs), and removable media.

the PC into a true entertainment platform and is available in two
