Video Encryption Management (VEM)

As the Courier for the Digital Era^SM, AccessIT provides complete encryption management of satellite networks, from database validation to technology transitions and ongoing monitoring and control of the network.

Database Validation
Every satellite network has a database of affiliates or remote locations, with information on equipment types, authorization codes, etc. and almost every database gradually fills with errors. As a result, unauthorized users may access information or services to which they are not entitled. And when it comes time to change technology, companies can order hundreds of satellite decoders they do not need. AccessIT eliminates these problems by making telephone contact with every location in order to:

• Confirm contact and location info for active sites and purge records of inaccurate data.
• Validate the number of active and inactive sites in order to confirm the quantity of satellite decoders to be ordered and eliminate unauthorized access.

Technology Transition Management.
A technology transition may look simple. But there's nothing simple about getting it done fast and accurately, or about satisfying your end-users. AccessIT provides an end-to-end deployment solution for satellite and fiber-based networks, including:

• Technical equipment assembly, testing, warehousing and fulfillment for satellite decoders and other equipment.
• Field installation, testing and turn-up, with 24/7 help desk support.

Ongoing Encryption Management.
AccessIT provides ongoing management services, including:

• Monitoring and management of analog scrambling and digital compression platforms, with automated network trouble escalation and real-time online reporting through Vortex SE^SM.
• Signal monitoring for quality control.
• Sports blackouts (cable programmers) and mass decoder switching (enterprises).
• 24/7 help desk for affiliate/technical support.
• Continuing database reconciliation.
• Replacement equipment dispatching, inventory control, warehousing and fulfillment.
• Field service and maintenance.

Who can benefit from VEM?

• Cable Programmers rolling out new services that require distribution of decoders and other equipment to affiliates, or seeking improvements in ongoing network management.
• Enterprises developing and operating networks to deliver real-time or store-and-forward video content to their retail stores, branches and regional/local offices.

Why is VEM better than doing it yourself?
Satellite network deployment and management can be a big challenge. It takes expertise and experience to validate and maintain accurate data, ensure the fastest possible turn-up of service, and manage secure conditional access. These are some of AccessIT's core competencies. By eliminating delays and avoiding cost overruns, we speed deployment and improve user satisfaction. By letting you avoid adding staff and systems, we keep your operations lean and highly productive.
