Net Insight Added Nimbra 1020G to Asian Media Network
The device provides 600 Gbps of switching for media networks migrating to IP-based infrastructure.
Updated on Sept. 28, 2026 in Data Centers
Net Insight has integrated the Nimbra 1020G into its pan-Asian trial network to support live media workflows. The device is currently available for testing migration paths from legacy systems to IP-based environments.
Why it matters
Broadcasters require reliable methods to transition to IP-based media environments without disrupting critical live services. This trial infrastructure offers a practical space to evaluate technical shifts in data center handling of high-capacity media flows.
The Nimbra 1020G offers 600 Gbps of lossless Ethernet switching capacity within a compact 1U modular form factor. It supports 1,024 fully monitored Trust Boundary flows and 64 channels of ST 2110/TR-07 compression.
The players
Net Insight
A developer of media transport and synchronization technology that provides switching and streaming solutions for live media networks.
The details
The device facilitates IP media-service handoff between independently managed networks while isolating and preserving media flows. This ensures that when transitioning to an IP-based architecture—a system where video and audio data move via internet protocol packets—the media remains stable. The hardware allows users to test migration workflows involving ST 2110, an industry standard for moving uncompressed video over IP, and JPEG XS, a compression standard used for low-latency distribution.
Timeline
September 28, 2026: The Nimbra 1020G integration was confirmed.
The Tech Race
The deployment follows a broader industry push to adopt the ST 2110 IP media transport standard as a replacement for traditional broadcast infrastructure. The introduction of the 1020G provides the specific switching hardware required to implement this standard at scale.
Media engineers in the Asia-Pacific region can now evaluate this hardware within the existing trial network to test migration workflows. The equipment is currently restricted to this trial environment, with broader commercial deployment timelines yet to be determined by the manufacturer.
The takeaway
The move signals a practical shift toward high-capacity IP media switching that mimics enterprise-grade data center architectures. Interested parties should track the company’s performance benchmarks at the Inter BEE 2026 conference for further evidence of network stability.
What happens next
Net Insight is scheduled to demonstrate the technology at the upcoming Broadcast India event and at Inter BEE 2026.
