EBU order upgrade of Eurovision network with Net Insight's new Nimbra 688 switches



Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight has received a further order from the
EBU (European Broadcasting Union) to upgrade the Eurovision network
with the high capacity Nimbra 688 switches.

Based on the Nimbra platform, EBU operates its Eurovision fiber
network for seamless, secure and high-performance transport of live
video from major news and sports events to broadcast customers in
Europe, North America and Asia. Over the years EBU has continuously
extended its Nimbra-based Eurovision network to cater for additional
services, capacity and customer connections.

Driven by increasing traffic volumes, EBU has now decided to upgrade
some of its main sites with Net Insight's new high-capacity Nimbra
688 switches. The Nimbra 688 is the most powerful switch in the
Nimbra 600 series, offering redundant 80 gigabit per second switching
capacity and twice the access and trunk port count. With the Nimbra
688 in the core network, Eurovision is strengthening its capabilities
to meet all future requirements of its customers for real time
content delivery of top sports and news events.

Delivery and installation of the Nimbra 688 switches will occur in
the December to February time frame."Our customers continue to expand their networks and we are delighted
to work with the EBU on the development of its network", says Fredrik
Trägårdh, CEO of Net Insight.
