(Brussels – 3/6/2010) Norkring Belgium is currently working on expanding and upgrading its broadcasting infrastructure. As part of this process, the company has signed a long-term agreement with SYNTIGO for the ICT provider to make its dark fibre available to the broadcaster. The agreement gives Norkring Belgium its own, highly dependable fibre optic connection between thirteen strategic sites in Flanders and Brussels.
By the autumn of this year, Norkring will be using this fibre optic network to send TV and radio signals to its transmission masts, where pictures and sound will be transmitted via the ‘digital ether’ in sparkling digital quality. Norkring’s new infrastructure has even more capabilities. For example, it will be carrying all kinds of digital information from one point to another, such as links between data centres, video images and so on, whether they need to be sent wirelessly to fixed or mobile end-customers:
- supplementary data for electronic systems (GPS, notebooks, etc.)
- information for electronic panels
- video images (in impeccable quality)
- point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections
Live video and audio signals can also be sent to the nearest Norkring transmission mast. Norkring Belgium will be able to deliver these broadcast signals to any location of its choice via the new fibre optic network, thereby providing a total solution for all contribution requirements.
