STOCKHOLM -- Net Insight, a leading provider of efficient optical transport solutions for media, broadcast and IP networks have signed a frame agreement with, and received a first order from Teracom for delivery of Nimbra equipment to a media contribution network in Sweden.
Teracom is Sweden's first media operator, providing services within radio, TV, broadband and digital communications. The company consists of Teracom and the subsidiary Boxer TV-Access, which offers pay TV services distributed to households through Teracom's network. Teracom is owned by the Swedish government and operates Sweden's broadcasting infrastructure.
Teracom owns and operates an extensive terrestrial media network and is now deploying a core network interconnecting its media contribution networks in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö.
The network is built for simultaneous transport of uncompressed and compressed video (HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI) based on Net Insight's Nimbra 680 and the eight-port Video Access Module, which allows for a wide variety of configurations and a mix of service content.
This initial order includes Nimbra nodes that will provide efficient transport of video with guaranteed 100 percent QoS at industry-leading bandwidth utilization levels. The equipment will be delivered in the third quarter 2008.
"Teracom has well proven solutions that enable us to deliver a variety of highly safe and secure media services without disruption," said Magnus Sjöberg, Manager Network Design at Teracom. "Our new Nimbra based network will improve the capacity and ensure competiveness of our contribution network for radio and TV."
