Green can mean many things in the business environment. And many companies support environmentally conscious practices, from implementing in-house recycling programmes to striving for resource-saving operational practices. At Nevion, green practices are part of its DNA, interlaced throughout each of its product lines and bringing myriad benefits to the company, its customers, and the environment. Oddbjørn Bergem, CEO of Nevion, reports.

personnel, to equipment that features small form factors, lightweight materials, and design and engineering innovations that streamline production and installation. Heat is a significant factor adversely affecting the life of electronic components contained in many products. Nevion is committed to designing solutions that require less power and thereby generate less heat, which significantly increases the reliability and life span of each product. This holistic approach generates incremental savings over the lifetime of Nevion products. Customers realise savings in space, resources and energy consumption, while enjoying increased product reliability.

A commitment to products that save energy and mitigate effects on the environment starts with a mindset, most importantly an eye toward innovation. A company culture and product development process that puts a premium on ways to make goods and services more efficient, less resource dependent and less environmentally impacting is vital.

Routing - more compact, reliable and efficient

A commit- ment to products that save energy and mitigate effects on the environment starts with a mindset, most

importantly an eye toward innovation.

A commitment to resource-saving technology started with Nevion’s inception, and is evidenced by the evolution of a product that established Nevion’s green reputation in the video transport industry more than a decade

ago. The small, ultra low-power VikinX compact routing solutions burst onto the global market in late 90s and markedly changed content transport. In fact, the VikinX product family set the standard as the first compact solution in the market. With an extensive range of matrix sizes and covering signal formats from analogue video/audio to HDTV, including 1080p 3Gbps single link HD, this product family combines small size with power efficiency, flexibility and reliability. Design simplicity, the implementation of easy-to-operate user interfaces, and fully redundant control architecture improve reliability. They also keep operational expenses low, resulting in lower cost of ownership.

Fibre transport built for efficiency

The entire Flashlink product line of transport and video processing solutions is built around green precepts, starting with innovative design. Due to their small size and efficient operation, Flashlink modules produce little heat. This makes it possible for them to operate without fans to clean or replace, saving energy, extending the life of the products and eliminating ongoing resources needed to service the fans, not to mention the savings associated with the reduced need for equipment Page 1  |  Page 2  |  Page 3  |  Page 4  |  Page 5  |  Page 6  |  Page 7  |  Page 8  |  Page 9  |  Page 10  |  Page 11  |  Page 12  |  Page 13  |  Page 14  |  Page 15  |  Page 16  |  Page 17  |  Page 18  |  Page 19  |  Page 20  |  Page 21  |  Page 22  |  Page 23  |  Page 24  |  Page 25  |  Page 26  |  Page 27  |  Page 28  |  Page 29  |  Page 30  |  Page 31  |  Page 32  |  Page 33  |  Page 34  |  Page 35  |  Page 36  |  Page 37  |  Page 38  |  Page 39  |  Page 40  |  Page 41  |  Page 42  |  Page 43  |  Page 44  |  Page 45  |  Page 46  |  Page 47  |  Page 48
