OTTAWA, Feb. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Novra Technologies Inc.
("Novra") (TSX Venture: NVI) today announced that its wholly owned
subsidiary, International Datacasting Corporation ("IDC"), has been
selected to provide the next-generation radio network
infrastructure for Televisa Radio, a leading broadcaster in
Mexico.
The new network, which will distribute digital audio broadcast
signals via both satellite and terrestrial "cloud" technology, will
be the most advanced system of its type in the country, supporting
advanced features such as targeted advertising and custom content
insertion for remote stations, time shifting, and encryption as
well as sophisticated network control and management.
In addition, it will feature IDC's MISTiQ IP networking
technology, enabling transparent switching between broadcast and
cloud. Integrated hybrid IP connectivity will eliminate loss of
signal due to rain fade, sun outages, and interference that can
plague broadcasters and degrade service for audiences.
IDC is working with its longtime partner in Mexico, Grupo Etercom SA de CV, to deliver
this turnkey solution.
Alejandro Torre, head of
engineering for Televisa Radio, commented, "We selected IDC after a
very thorough analysis. We are excited about working with a
flexible, secure, next-generation system that seamlessly
incorporates cloud technology, the first in Mexico."
Harris Liontas, President and CEO
of Novra Group, commented, "Televisa Radio is one of the largest,
oldest, and most prestigious networks in the Americas. It is an
honor to have been chosen as their technology partner as they
upgrade their radio network with new advanced technologies."
