North American Tier-One Cable Operator uses Net Insight for Wired Fronthaul Content Acquisition
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Cost-effective video transport over Internet replaces satellite
Atlanta, GA., (SCTE Cable-Tec Expo) - Net Insight, a leading provider of
efficient and scalable transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks,
today announces that a tier-one North American cable operator has selected the
company's Nimbra VA 210 solution to transport video from six remote broadcasters
over public internet, replacing the traditional satellite approach while
maintaining quality of service (QoS).
Until now, cable operators have deployed satellite for fronthaul content
acquisition, which has proven to be a limiting factor. By replacing this, the
Nimbra VA 210 allows for the effective use of low-cost Internet connections for
acquisition of niche channels. The Nimbra VA 210 provides a solution that
includes content-aware Forward Error Correction (FEC) and selective
retransmission, enabling video streams to be transmitted over Internet
connections with a level of quality that compares to today's satellite feeds,
but in a more cost-effective way.
Net Insight's Nimbra VA 210 answers the growing demand for high-quality video
transport over unmanaged IP networks and introduces new alternatives for
satellite backup and disaster recovery.
"Net Insight together with the tier-one operator are challenging the traditional
use of satellite for fronthaul content acquisition in the cable TV market," says
Per Lindgren, CTO and SVP Business Development at Net Insight. "Through the
Nimbra platform, Net Insight also offers cable TV operators the potential to
become more competitive in the new media landscape by increasing the utilization
of bandwidth to boost the number of TV channels. Competitiveness can also be
increased by delivering higher picture quality and enhancing the quality of
experience for subscribers."
The tier-one cable operator will deploy the Nimbra VA 210 platform, enabling
content fronthaul acquisition via Internet to a centralized headend for
redistribution. This deployment is the first phase and additional streams and
broadcasters are anticipated in the future.
