TV Markíza is keeping up with modern technologies. In their industry, ensuring the highest quality video and sound transmission into our living rooms is basically a must. We often cannot even imagine what it takes to be able to do that from a technical point of view.
Case study was published 26.02.2021
REQUIREMENTS
- Enable the transmission of large amounts of production data required for broadcasting (streams, videos, and other recordings to be sent to the production team for editing and display in broadcasts)
- Ensure data transport between four sites: Záhorská Bystrica (TV headquarters), NAD (metropolitan studios), and the Sitel and Six peering centres
SOLUTION
- A new Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network
- The DWDM network’s utilization of fibre optic cables, which are leased by the client under a long-term contract
- The technology used: Nokia’s Photonic Service Switch (PSS)
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
Having built their own transport DWDM network, TV Markíza no longer needs to lease such a network ”as a service” from other suppliers.
In obtaining a high-capacity transport network for data transmission, a DWDM network can use one optical path for multiple communication streams and thus multiply its capacity.
Two-way data transmission is now redundant.
There is an optional further increase of the network transmission capacity in the future if necessary, and this change can be implemented easily and quickly.
