STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Net Insight, a leading developer of efficient and scalable transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks, has received an expansion order for the Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) network from Lithuanian Radio and Television Centre (Telecentras).

Lithuanian Radio and Television Centre (Telecentras) is a nationwide Lithuanian telecommunication company owning two major radio and TV broadcasting networks for terrestrial analogue and digital broadcasting (DVB-T) as well as 4G mobile WIMAX. Telecentras selected Net Insight’s Nimbra platform for its DTT network in 2006.

The new order covers further expansion of the DTT network utilizing advanced core infrastructure and delivering various types of services to the customers with highest efficiency. The order includes IP/Ethernet Trunk Modules for enhanced multiservice operation and Nimbra Vision, a complete tool for efficient operation and management of the Nimbra network.

The order was won in partnership with Net Insight’s partner in Lithuania, Baltijos Kompiuteriu Centras.

The Nimbra equipment is mainly used to transport ASI streams between DVB-T headend and DVB-T transmitters. It is also used to carry services as PDH, SDH, mobile WIMAX and fixed broadband internet. The Nimbra offers QoS, security and reliability for Telecentras video, voice and data transport.
