General
What is HySky Suite?
HySky Suite is a self-hosted, TRAI-compliant IPTV and OTT operator platform from Hybrid Networks. It combines middleware, DRM, CAS, subscriber management, transcoding and OTT apps in one integrated stack, so a cable operator, MSO or DPO can run an entire addressable service from a single control plane.
Who is HySky Suite for?
Cable operators, Multi-System Operators (MSOs), Distribution Platform Operators (DPOs) and ISPs in India who want to run a compliant IPTV or OTT service on their own hardware.
Is HySky self-hosted or cloud?
Both. HySky Suite runs on your own headend hardware or in the cloud. Self-hosting means no per-subscriber cloud bill and your data stays in India.
Products & technology
What is IPTV middleware?
Middleware is the control plane of an IPTV service. It manages channels, bouquets, EPG, devices and entitlements, and decides who sees which channel on which device. HySky Middleware is that layer, driving CAS, DRM and delivery beneath it.
What is DRM?
Digital Rights Management delivers the decryption key to a player only if the viewer is entitled, on an approved device, in the right region. HySky DRM supports Widevine, ClearKey, FairPlay and PlayReady, with per-subscriber forensic fingerprinting.
What is a Conditional Access System (CAS)?
A CAS decides, in real time, whether a device is allowed to watch a channel, and records every decision. HySky CAS enforces entitlements at the edge with device locking and hash-chained audit logging.
What is the difference between CAS and DRM?
CAS answers whether a device is allowed to watch (authorization). DRM answers how the decryption key is delivered safely (encryption and keys). Compliant operators use both, working together.
What is a Subscriber Management System (SMS)?
The SMS handles the business side of an operator: subscribers, KYC, plans, bouquets, billing and invoicing. It pushes entitlements to the CAS and is the single source of truth for who is a paying subscriber.
Compliance
Is HySky Suite TRAI-compliant?
Yes. HySky Suite is built to TEC 57015:2022, TEC 57025:2022 and TRAI Schedule-X, with fingerprinting, three-year logging, geo and device locking, and a one-click auditor pack.
What are TEC 57015 and TEC 57025?
TEC 57015:2022 is the specification for a Conditional Access System. TEC 57025:2022 is the specification for a Subscriber Management System. Indian operators are measured against both.
How does the TRAI audit work?
An empanelled auditor verifies fingerprinting, logging, reconciliation and reporting. HySky generates the full auditor pack, including Schedule-3 reports, reconciliation workbooks, pairing logs and query evidence, in the accepted formats.
