Media Links delivers IP-based technology products and solutions that are key to customers' broadcast facilities, from Media over IP transport solutions including the MD8000 Series to its IP Video Router System.

The partnership combines Media Links' IP solutions with FOR-A's baseband, file-based and graphics products, offering an advanced system solution for broadcast media distribution applications.

Katsuaki Kiyohara, President and Representative Director, FOR-A Co., said: "As both a manufacturer and system integrator, FOR-A has been proposing and delivering advanced products and systems to broadcast stations and video production facilities for more than 20 years. As a market leader in media over IP transport and routing solutions, we look forward toward collaborating with Media Links to provide the innovative system solutions our customers need in order to transition to IP-media environments."

Takatsugu Ono, Chairman & CEO of Media Global Links, added: "Media Links has been providing IP technology based products and solutions for major broadcasters and telecom carriers for over two decades. In establishing this collaborative relationship with FOR-A, we together can provide unique next generation IP-media broadcast systems, improving overall workflow and customer satisfaction to the Japanese marketplace."
