Norkring extends multi-service terrestrial media network with Net Insight's Nimbra platform

Audio contribution network connects Norwegian radio stations

12 December, 2008

Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, leading developer of efficient and
scalable transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks,
today announced an order from Norkring to connect NRK (Norwegian
Broadcasting Corporation) regional studios to its multi-service
terrestrial media network.

Norkring is Norway's leading provider of broadcasting services,
delivering infrastructure and network services to premier
broadcasters and network operators. The company, owned by Telenor,
operates a multi-service contribution and distribution network for
digital terrestrial television and radio broadcast with maximum
network utilization and flexibility. Over the last two years,
Norkring has been planning, building and operating the Norwegian DTT
network based on Net Insight's Nimbra platform.

The development of the network is a continuing process and this step
add on national AES/EBU audio contribution from all NRK regional
studios. With these additional Nimbra 360 nodes, NRK will be able to
connect its radio production network with the efficient and highly
reliable terrestrial network. The contribution network will also
carry Ethernet data along with the AES/EBU audio traffic.

The Nimbra 360 was especially designed for digital terrestrial
networks and offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for
delivering advanced multimedia services in broadcast and media
networks. The unique multicast feature found in Nimbra switches makes
it easy to distribute both digital TV and radio and with uncompressed
video and audio services the network turns into a very powerful media
contribution platform. Norkring's Nimbra-network also incorporates
the unique Time Transfer feature for time synchronization, which
eliminates the need for costly and potentially vulnerable GPS
synchronization receivers in the network.
Equipment deliveries will start during the fourth quarter 2008.
