NORWIA @ IBC 2023

Visit Norwia at IBC 2023 booth 11.A10


At IBC 2023, Norwia AS, a leading supplier of optical transport products, will showcase true hybrid solutions based on our renowned miniHUB frame concept.

With up to 32 channels of optical conversions in a single 1RU frame, customers may mix and match between any kind of baseband SDI: SD-, HD-, 3G-, 4K-, 6G- and 12G-SDI. In addition, a number of other signals like DVB-ASI, MADI, VoIP (ST2022 and ST2110), 10GigE, Audio signals (AES/Ravenna 67) and control signals (Tally/GPIO/RS-232 and RS-422) are all supported in the miniHUB frame concept. All signals may be either single channel per fiber or up to 18 channels of CWDM per fiber.

The flexibility provided gives our customers an almost endless range of possibilities for having a system design that matches their exact requirement.



Another feature that makes miniHUB unique, is the possibility of changing the configuration as the requirements change.

In other words, a transition from i.e. an HD-SDI infrastructure to a 12G-SDI infrastructure may be done on a single channel basis, allowing for moderate investments over time.

Such configuration changes may be done "on-the-fly" without interrupting the daily tasks.

miniHUB is also available in a version designed for applications in extreme temperature environments. One of the largest US telco groups are using 100's of these units across the country for the transport of live sports events.

Additionally, multiple miniHUB 1RU frame sizes will be on display, with a maximum of either 2, 4 or 8 cards. In addition, CWDM filters may be added. All frames are, as standard, equipped with a frame controller card for monitoring and control. All frame variants support dual power supplies as well.


Our HUBbox range of small form factor family products will also be on display. The family covers all SDI formats up to 12G-SDI. As a stand-alone, dual channel optical converter, this is the ideal product for greatly extending the distance between i.e. a camera and the control room.

It is available as a dual channel transmitter, dual channel receiver or a transceiver. In addition, CWDM lasers may be installed to interface to a CWDM system.





We look forward to seeing you at stand 11.A10

"The project involved installing a dedicated dark fiber infrastructure for Media transport, including various venues, plenaries, meeting rooms, OB-Van locations and satellite farm," said Sherif Emam, Solution Architect at Technology K.A.R. Inc. "This enabled us to use the Norwia products to transport signals whenever a UN request for a media service was put forward. Most of the Norwia systems was installed at fixed rack positions, interfacing various AV equipment. For last-minute, non-planned requests, we took advantage of our portable design systems with Norwia equipment for the transport of any SDI video signals or camera based SMPTE signals."

Osama Kotb, Sales & Business Development Director at Technology K.A.R. Inc., added "At Sharm El Sheikh International Convention Center, we have expanded our previous successful project- and installation base of Norwia products, which helped us to be awarded the COP27 expansion project by MCIT (Ministry of Communication and Information Technology). The Norwia optical media transport platform for COP27 included media transport involving 32 meeting rooms and 8 OB-Vans from Egyptian National Television operating two plenaries, two press conference sites and additional side events, all linked to the MCR which in turn was feeding signals to the media press center, the satellite uplink farm, and streaming platforms. We are very happy with representing Norwia in the Egyptian market, as Norwia's products are outstanding products."
In addition to the installation scope of work, Technology K.A.R. Inc. have been responsible for the operation of the systems and media transport network during COP27. Positive feedback and appreciation were expressed by the UN management as well as MCIT, host country's main technical officer in charge and GL Events consultants. Norwia solved all the optical transport requirements, and the flexibility of the systems supplied makes it easy to broaden or change the scope of use in future events.

Newsletter April 2021 - Success with government installations!

miniHUB hybrid solutions solve the challenges

In the last, few months, Norwia has had a significant penetration and success with a number of high-profile government installations. Our new customers are spread wide and far apart, in Europe, Asia and Africa.

The applications are quite different from each other, and are tailor-made to each customer. The only common factor is that each and every one utilizes the flexibility built into the miniHUB Optical Transport Platform, allowing for customer-specific configuration and operation.


Osama Kotb, Technology K.A.R. and Lars Kr. Thomesen, Norwia, after successful installation and commissioning at Sharm El Sheikh International Congress Center in Egypt.


Why Norwia's hybrid solution?
To put it simple: No two installations require identical solutions!

Some have 3G-SDI needs, some have 12G-SDI needs, some requests either 1G and/or 10G Ethernet, some have AES, some have MADI, some needs Audio over IP (Dante), some needs to connect "remote" cameras via our SMC's (SMPTE Media Convertor), some have multi-fiber cables, some needs CWDM for long distance transport on a single fiber strand. Some even needs most of the combinations listed above.

We always work closely with our Partner in the respective country in order to design a compact, yet cost-effective solution for the end-user.

It's a true 1 card solution that can be used in many different situations and be reconfigured on the fly to provide Optical links, CWDM distribution, Optical distribution, Transponders plus Add/Drop/Pass networks. This is application flexible!

The one-card solution is also Format flexible and able to change from SDI signals to Ethernet in seconds!

If you want your TCO "Total cost of ownership" to work positively in your favor then read on through our website or contact us to arrange a demonstration to see the miniHUB optical fiber distribution system.
