A leading Swiss systems integrator has announced the successful deployment of Appear TV’s DC1000 decoder with RF modulation at the GIB-Solutions data centre in Zurich. GIB-Solutions provides a wide range of data, telephony, radio and television services to partner and community networks throughout the Zurich region and the rest of Switzerland, serving more than 35,000 subscribers. GIB-Solutions data centre is one of the most advanced and secure in Europe, built in premises that were once one of Switzerland’s largest army bunkers of the Cold War era. GIB Solutions has renovated the former bunker, and the data centre now claims to rank as one of the world’s best in terms of security and reliability.

  Appear TV's DC1000 enables cable operators to use a common hardware platform to deliver high quality digital and analog video and radio services. The modularity and high flexibility of the Appear TV head-ends make them suitable for multiple network architectures, streaming and multiplexing of digital content over IP-based networks, the conversion of digital content and the distribution of TV and FM radio services over RF networks.
