“We were really impressed with the rock solid nature of the entire Media Links system. All of our JPEG2000 and ASI video landed at the various drop point in the USA without a single hit. All this while transiting an IP network that was quite complex, and had a tremendous number of provider handoffs as it made its way from Sochi to the USA. This allowed us to bring ever more coverage to our viewers watching the Games on the networks of NBCUniversal.”
