the highest possible Quality of Service
MOSCOW, (CSTB' 14 Booth 525); Russia - Net Insight, a leading provider of
efficient and scalable transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks,
today announces that Rostelecom, a new customer, has selected the company's
Nimbra platform for live video transport feeds for a major winter sports event
taking place in Russia in February.
With Net Insight's Nimbra platform, Rostelecom will transport live video feeds
from Sochi to Moscow for a major national broadcaster during an international
winter sporting event. The telecom operator selected Net Insight for its compact
and highly versatile platform that is especially suited for occasional use
services and meeting demands for fast time to market.
Rostelecom is a nationwide telecommunications enterprise and the largest
universal communications operator in Russia, serving more than 100 million
subscribers in 80 regions. Rostelecom offers cutting-edge fixed and mobile
telephony, broadband access, pay TV and cloud solutions to consumers and
businesses.
"Rostelecom will deploy Net Insight's Nimbra platform in order to serve our
customers' contribution needs during the upcoming sporting event," says Igor
Kachalov, senior specialist, service TV & radio company department at
Rostelecom. "The Nimbra platform not only provides a highly stable JPEG2000
compression solution but also ensures advanced protection mechanisms. These
benefits in combination with Net Insight's and Kontur-M's professional services
were imperative in selecting the Nimbra platform."
"Adding Rostelecom to our list of major service providers demonstrates that our
Nimbra platform is the ideal solution for mission-critical live sports
broadcasting," says Fredrik Tumegård, CEO at Net Insight. "Net Insight has set
the pace for innovation in the industry, and with this latest customer win, we
