Net Insight Adds STM-1/OC-3 Interface for Transporting Video

Net Insight released a 4-port STM-1/OC-3 access module for its Nimbra media networking platform. The Net Insight platform serves as a video transport solution for professional media customers. The new module provides a migration path for media operators that presently run an SDH/SONET based network, to lay over their STM-1/OC-3 based services to the Nimbra powered media network. This permits operators to deliver the professional grade video service together with ATM or POTS based services over their Nimbra network. It could also be used by broadcasters to interface with cable networks that are now offering Internet and voice.


The new module transports any STM-1/OC-3 framed payload over the Nimbra network. This typically includes video encoded for SDH/SONET or ATM and Packet-over-SONET and TDM services. The board also features 4 small formfactor pluggable optics ports that can be fitted with opto modules for both short and long haul traffic. Net Insight's Nimbra platform already offered 10/100/1000 Ethernet, ASI, SDI and E1/T1 interfaces.
