Profile

Founded in 2000, NEOTION develops and markets innovative technologies related to the digital television environment, with particular emphasis on Conditional Access Modules and Decoder Chipsets.

Thanks to its innovation strategy, NEOTION has quickly established itself as a market leader for combining high level content protection and security features whilst enabling TV manufacturers and regional operators to offer consumers "easy access" (using the original TV remote control) to digital TV content.

Since it was first founded, NEOTION has developed strategic partnerships, increased its capital and successfully completed the acquisition of XEOLE, a major player in MPEG-4 AVC video compression.

NEOTION is currently actively developing the Pan-European, Middle Eastern, US and Asian markets. The company continues to generate most of its sales outside the home market.
In April 2004, the company also opened an office in China (Shanghai), in order to ensure better control of its production lines and ability to locally address the Asian markets.

NEOTION employs 100 people, the majority of whom are dedicated to Research and Development. Since it was formed, NEOTION has dedicated over 28 M € budget to R & D. It has successfully registered more than 30 patents which it owns. Its innovative policy of technological contributions enabled the successful launch the "NEOTION Pocket" in 2006, the only credit card sized digital MPEG4 decoder in the world.

The company is now listed on the Euronext Paris Alternext market, please click here.

The gradual switch-off of analogue will ensure the digital era and considerably increase the global market where analogue televisions will have to be replaced or upgraded.

The evolution of DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) and IPTV (Television over the Internet)and the increase of global content production and distribution continues to drive the home entertainment industry with increased sales of latest technology TV sets (HD, 3D and now [CI Plus]) enabling the consumer "easy access" and improving their viewing pleasure.
