The European Broadcasting Union will use Net Insight’s Nimbra platform for its new international fiber TV and data network. The new fiber transport network, which complements EURvision’s existing satellite network, will carry real time critical traffic, including breaking news and sporting events to EBU members and other media customers.
With its new network, EURvision will provide connectivity for TV traffic between the largest media cities in Europe, with trans-Atlantic connections into the USA. The first phase of the network roll-out includes seven cities in Europe and two in the USA, with the objective to connect around twenty cities in later phases. Deployment is underway. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.netinsight.se
