Chunghwa Telecom has purchased an additional 450,000 Cypher Virtual SmartCard clients from Widevine to accommodate rapid subscriber expansion and in-home network proliferation with existing subscribers. The continued demand for Chunghwa's television service has largely been driven by the introduction of existing Hollywood premium content, HD programming and exclusive rights to Olympics coverage.

Chunghwa's interactive TV service, Multimedia on Demand, is the largest IPTV deployment in the world based on number of devices deployed. Customers of the Chunghwa service can take advantage of a wide range of linear broadcast channels, video-on-demand, pay-per-view and karaoke-on-demand.

Widevine Cypher secures the entire Chunghwa footprint -- enabling multimedia service delivery across multiple consumer devices within the home.
