ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AccessKey IP, Inc., (OTCBB:AKYI) developer, designer and producer of advanced entertainment and communication devices, details what has been accomplished and what makes it different.
AccessKey IP has completed the development of their Set Top Box and end to end system. Why is this IPTV box different and where is it going? How will this be marketed and where will it be sold? Craig Erickson, AccessKey IPs VP of Technology explains:
The secure proprietary USB device that is used as the core in combination with the IPTV Set Top Box can be manufactured as an internal part (non-removable), or as a removable and multipurpose device. A tremendous amount of research and development has been invested in this technology. This is what gives us an edge in this competitive market. Our STB uses Linux 2.6 as its core operating system. Combined with this STB is our secure USB technology. The system provides for a secure identification that cannot be easily circumvented. The STB has stereo, composite, S-Video, component and HDMI outputs. 2 USB ports are provided and the box comes in several variations, depending upon requirements. It can be a straight IPTV box, or a hybrid box combined with either digital terrestrial, satellite reception or cable along with IPTV. This provides us with the best flexibility of use for any of our customers.
Our secure USB device also has a multiple purpose. With this device and our drivers, firmware and encryption partner, we can provide detailed forensic watermarking that makes it nearly impossible to duplicate illegally pirated content without providing a trail back to the source. The USB device also sets up a reception point and player on any PC that it is installed on, so that when a customer travels, they can now enjoy their content anywhere on the planet. The HD streams have been tested at 4.5Mb/s and above, going from Los Angeles to China and back again, while keeping perfect integrity. Unique patented proprietary IP transmission technologies have been combined to provide this level of Open Internet Broadcasting melded with secure customer identification. Any computer that is set up with our technology requires the USB device to operate, so there is no security compromise to our delivery system when the device has been removed. The base AccessKey IP system technology is designed with the same secure chipset that is also used as the operating core within the TeknoCreations product, the TeknoVault®.
Our unique end to end system, Set Top Box plus USB device allows the broadcasting of High Definition premium content over the Open Internet without any breach of security providing desirable content to a larger user base of customers than is currently available. Now a set fixed closed network is no longer a requirement. True Open Internet Broadcasting (OIB) can now be realized and customer ID does not require the box to be in a fixed location or at a fixed IP address. The customer ID no longer is based upon this fixed MAC address and fixed IP address. Our device provides the unique encrypted ID information and communications for the system.
With our unique system and hardware, we are now approaching the 'customer base' that before has not been attainable. The big box retailers, retail stores and even etailers are open to us. We can now provide HD secure content distribution around the globe.
