NEWS/NERA deploys BRIDGE Technologies™ Monitoring architecture in national broadcast contribution network. (Amsterdam, The Nederlands - 7th September´2006) The state-owned broadcaster MRT in Macedonia is now live with a world-class, next-generation broadcast contribution network based entirely on IP technology.

As the network stands today it distributes 3 TV channels from the central/national studio to 4 regional locations using IP multicast. A studio quality return contribution feed is deployed between one regional studio and the main location. The system is currently being expanded with a further 5 regional locations.
