Large North American Sports Broadcaster Upgrades High-Capacity Production Network with Net Insight's Nimbra Platform



The Nimbra 688 doubles traffic capabilities for compressed and
               uncompressed live high-definition video

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Net Insight, leading developer of efficient and
scalable optical transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast
networks, today announced an upgrade order from one of North
America's largest sports broadcasters to incorporate the Nimbra 688
into its high-traffic production network.  This is the first Nimbra
688 deployment in the U.S. since the product became available in
September 2008.

To manage heavy, high-bandwidth traffic between its production
studios, this customer has added the Nimbra 688 to the most intensive
traffic zones on its production network.  With the Net Insight
platform upgrade, the customer will continue to lead sports broadcast
innovation by transporting uncompressed and compressed HD video as
well as compressed standard definition (SD) video at the highest
quality. In addition, the Nimbra 680 switches previously used on the
network will be reallocated to alternate network positions to
capitalize on the unmatched bandwidth utilization and guaranteed QoS
found in all Nimbra solutions."To keep up with consumer demands for the best quality sports
entertainment, this North American broadcast customer can now take
advantage of the Nimbra 688's increased capacity to accommodate live,
jitter-free HD sports broadcast and production," said Fredrik
Trägårdh, CEO of Net Insight. "For the past two years, this North
American broadcast customer has relied on the capabilities of Net
Insight's Nimbra platform to enhance its HD video offering and we are
proud to receive this upgrade order."

The Nimbra 688 platform is based on the Nimbra 600 series, a
high-capacity multiservice switch with sub Mbps switching granularity
for all services. Nimbra 688 offers twice the access and trunk port
count of Net Insight's Nimbra 680, increasing the amount of traffic
that can be handled by professional media networks. The
next-generation Nimbra 688 is especially aimed at fulfilling the
highest demands in terms of capacity and availability of the
professional media industry and telco and CATV / IPTV networks.

The equipment is delivered in the fourth quarter 2008.
