Nevion has announced a new switch to its SDN (software defined network) media fabric portfolio: the Nevion eMerge 400G, an addition to the line up of 1G, 10G, 25G and 100G eMerge switches. It is designed as a spine router for facilities or a central router for OB trucks, as the company has claimed in a statement.

As a component of Sony’s Networked Live offering, eMerge SDN media fabric is a portfolio that looks for broadcast requirements for LAN and WAN networks, and pre-integrated with Nevion’s VideoIPath media orchestration platform. Some of the switches’ features are programming of NAT (network address translation) rules, and give control of media flows in the network. Additionally, it is interoperable with other COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) IP switches on the market.

The new 1RU eMerge 400G provides 32 x 400G ports, with a capacity of 25.6 Tbps. Nevion is also announcing a 64 x 100G eMerge with 12.8 Tbs capacity, to add to the existing 32 x 100G eMerge.

Cezary Cieslewski, Product Manager, eMerge at Nevion says: “The demand for our eMerge switches has grown dramatically in recent years, as has the network capacity our customers have been asking us to tackle. Adding a 400G switch to our offering is addressing those requirements, whether it’s in the facilities or OB-trucks”.

eMerge will be at the NAB Show (Las Vegas, 6-9 April, 2025), in the Networked Live area of Sony’s booth N439.
