Swedish media operator Teracom expands media contribution network with Net Insight's Nimbra platform



Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, a leading provider of efficient
optical transport solutions for media, broadcast and IP networks has
received an order for delivery of additional Nimbra equipment to
Teracom's media contribution network.

In 2008, Teracom deployed a core network interconnecting its media
contribution networks in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö. The network
handles 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.

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 is now expanding its media contribution network with an
additional site in Copenhagen to cater for transport of multiple
TV-feeds to the Danish digital terrestrial TV network. The equipment
will be delivered in the second quarter 2009.

"Our Nimbra based contribution network enables us to deliver a
flexible mix of highly reliable media services in support of our
growing business operations," said Magnus Sjöberg, Manager Network
Design at Teracom.

"We are pleased to see that important customers continue to invest
and expand their networks," said Fredrik Trägårdh, CEO of Net
Insight. "The strong media transport capabilities of our Nimbra
platform prove its ability to deliver value for our customer's
mission critical services."

The Nimbra 680 is a next generation multi-service switch designed to
meet the rigorous rich media and data service needs of the carrier
and service provider markets including high switching capacity,
end-to-end provisioning and restoration, full topology support,
unique multicast support and 100 percent quality of service
guaranteed. Equipped with the 8 x Video Access Module, it offers
extensive flexibility for studio, contribution and distribution
networks. Each of the module's eight ports can be individually
configured as ASI In or ASI Out, as well as standard definition (SD)
or high definition (HD) SDI. Seven blades can be added per Nimbra 680
switch, delivering up to 56 universal video ports for optimal
transport customization.
