By JJ McCoy | July 19, 2007
Wegener Corp. has been granted a U.S. patent for technology used in conditional access systems for decrypting data within a satellite broadcast system, Wegener announced July 17.
The patent covers the quick restoration of IRD (integrated receiver/decoder) decryption authorization after the loss of a satellite signal.
The solution reduces reauthorization time following a loss of signal incident or a deliberate switch to another satellite carrier.
