We do not have to entirely depend on imported set top boxes (STB) for conditional access system (CAS) now.
Telenext Convergence, a Mumbai-based media solutions company, has announced the launch of an indigenously designed and manufactured STB which will enable conditional access in cable television networks. The Telenext STB has been designed by researchers from IIT, Bombay.
Allaying fears that STBs have to be imported and are not manufactured in India, Telenext claims that most STBs worldwide have also been designed in India.
