Our customers

NDS customers include many of the world’s leading pay-TV and mobile operators, as well as content providers. These include DIRECTV, BSkyB, Sky Italia, Viasat, Foxtel, CCTV, Tata Sky, Premiere, Astra, Canal Digital and many others. In fact, NDS serves several dozen platforms worldwide.

Until recently, many operators simply delivered content using one method such as satellite, cable TV, IPTV, or wireless/mobile.

But today’s operators want to deliver content securely to subscribers using multiple distribution methods in order to reach multiple devices. They want to keep their customers happy while generating greater revenues from their content investment.

This new generation of market leaders need the right combination of wired and wireless technology, embracing hybrid solutions that combine traditional broadcasting with On-Demand services as well as content from the Internet.

The new reality is called convergence, and NDS has already developed solutions to help operators succeed with the opportunities and challenges inherent in convergence.
