Network technology encompasses the hardware, software, and protocols that enable digital devices to connect, communicate, and share resources.
Network technology refers to the systems and methods used to establish and manage communication between computers, servers, mobile devices, and other digital assets. At its core, network technology involves the integration of hardware (such as routers, switches, and servers) with software (operating systems, security tools, orchestration platforms) and protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, RTP, etc.) to ensure reliable and efficient data exchange across local and global infrastructures.
What Nevion Does
Nevion plays a pivotal role in applying advanced network technologies to the media and broadcasting industries. With the industry’s shift from traditional baseband infrastructures (such as SDI) to IP-based workflows, Nevion enables broadcasters, production companies, and service providers to leverage scalable, flexible, and resilient network technology.
- Media over IP: Nevion has been at the forefront of transporting real-time video, audio, and data over IP networks. This transition eliminates costly point-to-point cabling and replaces it with flexible, packet-based communication.
- Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Nevion integrates SDN control with its VideoIPath orchestration platform. This enables centralized, automated routing of media signals, ensuring optimal use of bandwidth and guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS).
- Resilience & Redundancy: Nevion solutions use advanced redundancy techniques (e.g., SMPTE ST 2022-7 hitless switching) to guarantee uninterrupted media transport—even in case of network link or device failure.
- Products:
- Nevion Virtuoso: A software-defined media node enabling flexible adaptation of media signals for IP transport, conversion, and processing.
VideoIPath: A powerful orchestration and SDN control platform that manages complex broadcast networks across on-premises and cloud environments.
