Irdeto Access said Hispamar Satellite has selected the company’s M-Crypt conditional access solution to secure content distributed throughout Brazil. The first customer application of this security technology will be to encrypt video content for distance learning to hundreds of sites in Brazil.

“We reviewed several content security solutions but we were most impressed with the performance and track record of Irdeto M-Crypt,” said Sergio Chaves, sales director at Hispamar in a prepared statement. “Hispamar is committed to providing the highest content security solution for our customers in Brazil, and as a result we expect our subscriber base and revenues to grow significantly in 2005 and beyond. Irdeto M-Crypt is both highly scalable, allowing us to support thousands of sites using a single system, and flexible, so it will be able to support us as our business grows. We feel our customers will be the biggest winners from this relationship.”
