Prices »  Typically it is very hard to obtain the price of a Conditional Access System. Those who have tried know that it takes quite some time to get the final figure from the leader companies in the industry and that comes after answering many, quite often invonvenient, questions.

In order to save everyone's time we decided to publish our price in an open manner. This step will hopefully avoid most of ambiguities experienced by so many people.

Our research shows that most small and, to certain extend, middle sized Digital Television operators have difficluties paying large amount of money for the Initial License Fee (ILF) as their business is just in the beginning. The same applies to the Monthly License Fees (MLF). These money could be invested in equipment that is so needed in the early phases of a developing business.
What we did was to totally remove the ILF and reduce the MLF to something much more bearable.

However, the above fees are typically an order of magnitude smaller than the accumulated price for the Smart Cards (SC) bought over the years. As a result we priced our SCs as low as possible.

In the table below you will find our numbers:

Item	price
Initial License Fee (ILF)	zero/nil
Monthly License Fee (MLF)	starting at 100 euro
Smart Cards	4 euro a piece *
server equipment	typically less than 1000 euro

* -- negotiable for quantities of 50'000 or more;
