CBC/Radio-Canada Taps Fujitsu to Drive Digital Transformation

Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. has announced that Canada’s national public broadcaster, CBC/Radio-Canada, selected the 1FINITY optical networking platform to enhance their digital infrastructure in order to connect the Olympic Studio and the production center in Montreal and drive digital transformation.

The CBC/Radio-Canada network must effortlessly support peak traffic demand across multiple platforms including live-streaming, on-demand video, and mobile apps. For the back office, video editing and post-production require an ultra-fast, low-latency network to transport the extensive broadcast-quality digital video content.

The Fujitsu 1FINITY T-Series transport blades, which provide secure, reliable, high-speed data up to 600 Gbps, are installed on the fiber-optic links that connect CBC/Radio-Canada remote studios and their Montreal broadcast center.

“As a national, multi-platform broadcaster and champion of Canadian culture, CBC/Radio-Canada delivers uniquely Canadian content across a world-class network,” said Annie Bogue, head of sales and marketing at Fujitsu Network Communications. “We are proud to be a part of their evolving broadcasting and communications environment with our scalable 1FINITY platform.”

Fujitsu’s unique strength and expertise come from decades of global leadership and combined expertise in both IT and communications networks. Network operators of all sizes and types rely on the company's business and technical know-how in building, operating and maintaining the networks that drive digital transformation ahead.
