Today it announced a reseller agreement with ZTE Corporation, provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions to service providers keen to enter the IPTV space.

A key aspect of the partnership is bundling Conax’ Connected Access next generation IPTV security client with ZTE’s complete offering targeting the global IPTV market. The reseller agreement strengthens Conax’ IPTV expansion plans with the first joint operator deployments under preparation.
