Adder Technology joins AIMS alliance as IP adoption accelerates

Cambridge, 28 November 2017: Adder Technology, the high performance, IP-based KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) specialist, has announced it has joined the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), a not-for-profit trade alliance, as an associate member.

AIMS is dedicated to the education, awareness and promotion of industry standards for the transmission of video, audio and ancillary information over an IP infrastructure, as well as products based on those standards. The trade alliance was established in 2015 and counts almost 80 leading industry organisations as members.

“Adopting IP as a standard transport method across the broadcast industry is presenting an opportunity for far greater operational flexibility; a flexibility that many broadcasters are now benefiting from,” says Neil Hillier, senior vice president for global sales and marketing, Adder Technology.

“As a company developing KVM solutions for the broadcast sector we believe in the full adoption of IP. We are looking forward to collaborating with AIMS and its partners in furthering the adoption and use of open standards in order for broadcasters to fully realise the cost, performance and operational benefits that IP delivers.”
