Net Insight Announces Order for Studio-Quality Video over IP

Net Insight was awarded a $1.7 million contract to supply video transport over IP equipment to a next generation service provider in the U.S. The new network will offer studio-quality video transport for the broadcast and production studio markets in addition to VPN and video conferencing for enterprise customers. The network will include a virtual head end for delivering over 100 channels of television. The virtual headend will help telcos to substantially reduce the cost of implementing a triple play solution. The customer's name was not disclosed.


Net Insight's Nimbra Platform is capable of sending uncompressed video at 270 Mbps, plus data and voice, with guaranteed 100% QoS throughout the network. Net Insight uses Ethernet tunnels and an automated control plane to dynamically route communications over multiple virtual paths.
