Stockholm - KPN Broadcast Services has placed orders to upgrade its Dutch media network
KPN's multi-service media network is based on Net Insight's Nimbra platform and has been operational since the beginning of 2006. The core network, which is currently based on the Nimbra One multiservice switch, is now being upgraded to the high-capacity Nimbra 680 switch and new sites are added.
The upgrade of KPN's core network extends the capacity of existing real-time critical DVB-T distribution as well as real-time contribution services and is the foundation for KPN's new services.
The orders exceed 10 MSEK, and the equipment will be delivered during the third quarter. The order from KPN Broadcast Services was placed through Net Insight's Dutch partner Alphatron.
"We are pleased to be selected to be part of KPN's rapid business expansion and the associated need for upgrade of this network", says Fredrik Trägårdh, CEO of Net Insight. "Net Insight's numerous successes in the market for digital terrestrial TV networks continue. We are now also well placed to pursue the growing market for Mobile TV networks".
