Teracom Turns to T-VIPS to Support the Next Generation of Swedish Television

The CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway enables Teracom to protect its investment in current infrastructure by accommodating its existing DVB-T head-end for DVB-T2 operation. The CP541 switch provides monitoring and switching capability in Teracom’s distribution network, ensuring that Sweden’s terrestrial viewers receive uninterrupted service.

Peo Gaasvik, CTO at Teracom, comments that: “Teracom has always been at the forefront of terrestrial television broadcasting. We constantly adopt new technologies to improve our system for the benefit of our customers and viewers. This time we built out a brand new network for HD-based services on the new DVB-T2 specification. We selected T-VIPS solutions to provide key functionality in this network because of their overall terrestrial expertise and the strong functionality of the T-VIPS DVB-T2 gateway.”

Advantages of T-VIPS DVB-T2 solutions include: advanced functionality; an unrivalled track record; field-tested solutions for DVB-T/T2; support for Single Frequency Network (SFN) operation and both ASI and IP transport in the core network.
