Case Study: Charter Communications achieves faster service launches and flexible STB design with Irdeto Keys & Credentials

Charter Communications - Customer Case Study

Charter Communications wanted to accelerate the launch of new services for its cable subscribers but was constrained by inflexible set-top box (STB) designs and dependencies on its vendors' timelines. To overcome these challenges, the company turned to Irdeto and its Keys & Credentials solution.

The solution implemented by Irdeto acted as a fully managed Trust Authority, allowing Charter to take direct control of its STB design using standard components and downloadable conditional access. This gave Charter the flexibility to foster competitive bidding among suppliers, achieve cost savings, and quickly launch new services across both new and legacy boxes, all supported by Irdeto's deep security expertise.
