US vendor Motorola announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of SecureM and its wholly owned subsidiaries, together operating as SecureMedia, for an undisclosed amount.
SecureMedia is a developer of software based digital rights management and security systems for IP video distribution and management. The acquisition, which is still subject to regulatory clearance, is expected to close in Q1 2010. Following deal closure, SecureMedia will become part of Motorola’s Home & Networks Mobility business.
Motorola states that the acquisition enhances its content security product portfolio and will allow it to offer both stand-alone and integrated software security solutions to IP video customers.
John Burke, senior VP, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility, said, “Motorola continues to invest in our video infrastructure solutions as our customers evolve their networks to handle the explosion in consumer demand for video. SecureMedia has superior expertise in IP-based video security and digital rights management – critical capabilities for the emerging Internet Era of Television, where video content is mobilized across the three screens of TV, mobile phone and PC.”
