    Aastra Technologies Limited, a leading provider of video transport products today announced that its MPEG networking solution, VideoRunner „·, will enable Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., a business unit of Time Warner, to provide fully redundant IP video routing, connecting their Buenos Aires, Argentina studio to their central studios in Atlanta, GA. This international two-way link will transport entertainment programming content originating in Latin America to Atlanta for uplinking purposes along with internal data and telephony communications between the two cities.

    VideoRunnerˇ¦s flexibility is also enabling TBS to provide route redundancy between satellite and undersea fiber optic transport in this deployment.

    ˇ§Aastraˇ¦s MPEG video transport products offer global broadcasters like TBS a cost-effective integrated solution that enables the consistent delivery of exceptional broadcast quality video, audio and data signals, using a single system,ˇ¨ said Tony Shen, President at Aastra Technologies. ˇ§We are delighted to be working with TBS and look forward to continuing to help them offer new programming to their subscribers.ˇ¨
