APRIL 14, 2008 -- Net Insight (search for Net Insight), developer of optical transport equipment for media, IP, and broadcast networks, today announced that its Nimbra optical transport platform has been selected by MediaXstream for its new North American video transport service network.
"As the provider of local and long-haul transmission services for the biggest names in the media business, MediaXstream is extremely selective in what technology we use in our network," reports Wayne Price, CTO of MediaXstream. "With Net Insight, we can deliver a leading, all-digital network that exceeds the growing needs and demands of our customers."
MediaXstream launched its new network using Net Insight's Nimbra platform to carry real-time traffic for professional media companies across the U.S. According to MediaXstream representatives, Net Insight's platform enables them to meet the rigorous 100% quality-of-service (QoS) and availability demands of the professional media industry.
MediaXstream built out the first phase of its network in 17 of North America's largest cities, including New York, Washington DC, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The new network offers high-capacity transmissions using Net Insight's Nimbra platform to deliver uncompressed and compressed HD or SD video, data and voice services.
"The addition of MediaXstream bolsters our client roster, demonstrating continued market traction for Net Insight in the U.S. market," contends Fredrik Trägårdh, CEO of Net Insight. "We are proud to serve MediaXstream with our Nimbra platform, delivering optimum network performance and QoS for next-generation content distribution transport services."
The Nimbra 680 is a next-generation switch from Net Insight. It implements 80-Gbit/sec fully non-blocking connectivity between all ports, combined with what the company claims is a state-of-the-art transport architecture to provide the industry's lowest cost-per-bit switching.
