Twenty years ago, in 1996, The Spice Girls sang their way to their first number one, Independence Day and The English Patient were box office hits, and world chess champion Garry Kasparov was beaten by a computer for the first time. It was also around the time Nevion started its pioneering journey in media transport.

Of course, our company wasn’t called Nevion back then, but Network Electronics. We were pioneers of compact routers — so much so that in some circles, Nevion’s Sublime routers are still known affectionately as “Network routers” in reference to the company’s name at the time. Over the last two decades, Nevion has evolved and merged with a number of companies, including seminal technology pioneers VPG and T-VIPS. Along the way, we’ve shaped and architected the field of media transport, challenging the conventional and coming up with new, more efficient ways of doing things. Product names like Flashlink, VikinX and Ventura have become part of the standard vocabulary in the broadcast industry.
