Irdeto and Twise expand CI Plus 2.0 ecosystem
Summary
The companies said that the solution enables any manufacturer to produce a USB CAM in a record time, with the first products expected in the first half of 2023. While the older PCMCIA form factor has geographically limited the market almost completely to Europe, the shift to USB has enabled CE manufacturers with the chance to grow into India, MENA, LATAM and African regions. Peter Oggel, CTO and SVP of Solutions at Irdeto, said: “We are excited to bring new growth opportunities to the CE manufacturers globally while also offering the more sustainable choice. Cloaked CA helps to eliminate the logistical expenses and complexity associated with smart card distribution. We are happy to be able to bring this new solution to the market together with Twise.” Stéphanie Bizouerne, Twise co-founder, said: “We’ve been cooperating with Irdeto over the last years, and we are proud to achieve this new milestone jointly.
