“NRK's production network is crucial for us to produce world-class content across
- Pål Nedregotten, CTO/CPO, NRK
“Broadcast content, especially when it is live, must be delivered without jitter or latency every time, otherwise it will have a very poor user experience. NRK understands that it must make every connection count and has embraced the power of WAN automation to deliver superior user experiences, both for its subscribers and its operations teams. This automated network is ideal for straightforward new service delivery, too, enabling NRK to accelerate innovation, delighting its audiences with creativity.”
