u Space is the first Thai company to
participate in the Qualcomm Smart Cities
Accelerator Program.
Satellite and space technology company mu
Space has confirmed its participation in the
Qualcomm's innovative smart city program.
The
program,

connect cities, government agencies and
enterprises with service providers offering
Qualcomm Technologies-based smart city
solutions. .
"At mu Space, our mission is to develop
the best quality products. As such, we only
work with the best in the industry. We're
excited to be offering high-quality products

solutions. Founded in 2017, the company
has so far disclosed its plan to include two
IoT devices - a smart apparel and a smart
tracker.
In 2018, mu Space has first started
developing the design of its own smart
apparel that is capable of controlling internal
temperature and equipped with a health
monitoring system.
Earlier this year, mu Space unveiled another
IoT product, a smart tracker that can provide
an accurate real-time location of people,
valuables, or other assets on the move.

n the post-OTT era, leveraging cloud
technology is essential to the next generation
of content security.
Everyone from Hollywood studios to live
sports broadcasters to pay-TV service
providers must now leverage the power of
OTT and cloud technologies to distribute
content securely over IP networks to
consumers.
Not that the process of cloudification is
straightforward; pay-TV operators - and
anyone interested in harnessing cloud
technologies - still face the big question of
security. If you also consider the impending
5G revolution, the question is only amplified.
In a world where the demand for highquality content - delivered anytime, anywhere,
and on any device - is higher than ever.
Vastly increased numbers of devices
with high bandwidth access to streaming
services on mobile, plus an elevated use of
virtualization and the cloud, could equate to
many more security threats - not to mention a
broader, multifaceted attack surface.
In response to these threats, and to ensure
a strong and healthy future, the pay-TV
industry must maintain a laser focus on
security alongside effective cloud migration.
They have to simplify operations and
reduce overheads, while still meeting all
relevant Hollywood and sports rights holder
requirements for content protection.

They must also look to rationalize
architectures by selecting a scalable,
modular, cloud-based solution to unify all
aspects of their content protection needs
- regardless of which network or device
they're delivering content to. And of course,
it's critical to work with a partner who could
deliver a solution specifically designed for
converged networks - but one that's also
easy to deploy and addresses our need for
scale and global reach.
Vodafone, for example, recently selected
and deployed the cloud-based NAGRA
Security Services Platform (cloud.SSP), to
secure its multi-network TV service, Vodafone
TV (VTV), across several countries.
As we look to the next generation of content
security, operators must harness solutions
that leverage the cloud and address every
content protection need, providing a scalable
and modular system for managing multiple
environments across existing and newer
generation STBs. This means going beyond
simple CAS and DRM management, to give
service providers complete control of content
value protection across all their networks,
devices and use cases, along with anti-piracy
services and tools like forensic watermarking,
that provide additional security measures to
keep premium content secure.
