Net Insight said the agreement would allow the company to offer a highly scalable and efficient solution that will use ORS’s underlying IP infrastructure to distribute DVB-T2 signals. The network will deliver multi-services such as HD-content as well as audio/radio signals over the same platform.

ORS, which runs Austria’s national DTT distribution, is solely responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of the terrestrial transmitter network and digital satellite transmission.

   “Net Insight’s Nimbra 680 high-capacity MSR will enable efficient and secure multicast throughout the network,” ORS said in a statement. “Prior to our decision we have performed tests of the Nimbra platform in our test environment. The test result showed that the Nimbra platform, thanks to its QoS and service integrity features, improves the performance of the underlying IP infrastructure. The first phase of the rollout is based on more than 40 Nimbra 680 nodes and will begin in the third quarter of 2012. The rollout of the DVB-T2 network will continue during 2013 and 2014.”
