STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Net Insight, a leading provider of efficient and scalable transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks, today announces Hibernia Networks will expand its media contribution network using Net Insight’s Nimbra platform to transport live video from all major Swedish Hockey League (SHL) arenas in Sweden beginning September 2014.

Hibernia Networks is a diverse high-bandwidth connectivity provider that owns and operates a global Nimbra-based network connecting North America, Europe and Asia, offering more than 190 network Points of Presence (PoPs) in 89 markets and 25 countries.
