Net Insight wins ORS DVB-T2 contract

Austrian broadcast provider ORS has awarded a contract to Net Insight to distribute DVB-T2 signals across Austria.

ORS is solely responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of the terrestrial transmitter network, digital satellite transmission and is the only company in Austria in charge of the country’s national DTT distribution.

The agreement, via Net Insight’s local partner TV-Connect Broadcast Systems, will provide a network that uses ORS’s underlying IP infrastructure to distribute DVB-T2 signals nationwide. The network will deliver services such as HD content as well as audio/radio signals over the same platform. Net Insight’s Nimbra 680 MSR will enable secure multicast through out the network.

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 roll-out of the DVB-T2 network will continue during 2013 and 2014.
