Fastway to upgrade STBs to Conax Contego platform

Fastway Transmissions has enhanced its partnership with content security partner Conax by upgrading its set-top boxes (STBs) to Conax Contego platform. This will enable the Punjab-headquartered multi-system operator (MSO) to navigate the challenges of digitisation. 

The Contego solution will help Fastway to harness the opportunities provided by the digital roll-out, such as new pay TV content packages and easy upgrade to multiscreen and over-the-top (OTT) business models in future. 

Set-top-box partner Digital Telemedia, one of the largest STB vendors and CATV solution providers, is providing Fastway with quality STBs to enable mass roll-out of new boxes and secure clients for capturing the next wave of Indian digitisation. 

Additionally, the MSO had recently signed a contract for one million additional clients from Conax for capitalising on the next phase of digitisation in Northern India. 

Fastway Transmissions MD Gurdeep Singh said, “Through our partnership with Conax, we aim to provide enhanced, flexible services to our customers and secure another one million subscribers in the next phase of Punjab digitisation. Key factors for our strong relationship with security partner Conax include expert guidance, flexible, future-oriented solutions, India-based 24/7 support service, long experience in digitisation and strong proven security track record in both India and around the globe. Additionally, Conax offers us short-time-to-market, a range of security-certified client devices and easy migration to advanced consumer offerings in future.” 

Conax VP Asia sales Mathisen added, “Conax is delighted that Fastway has chosen to further strengthen our strong relationship with the upgrade to Conax Contego Broadcast. Fastway’s vision and highly skilled team has been playing a key role in developing a roadmap for capturing new market share and harnessing the potential offered by the digital landscape. The benchmark Conax Contego security platform provides Fastway operations with access to a broad portfolio of sophisticated, yet easy to deploy, scalable solutions for building a strong foundation for subscriber and revenue growth during this exciting digitisation phase and into the future.” 

Digital Telemedia global marketing and sales director Huang Wei stated, “DTM is delighted to further strengthen its partnership with Conax together with Indian customer Fastway. We are glad to see this business model can create great success in taking the ongoing digitisation process in North India to a new height.”
