North American Research and Education Organizations Launch New Experimental Network and Exchange Collaboration: NA-REX

Seven advanced research and education (R&E) networks and exchange point consortia are collaborating to establish a new high-performance experimental network service connecting global exchange points in North America. Their collaboration promises enhanced capacity, coordination, and testing capabilities to develop next-generation network services, technologies, and foundational infrastructure supporting global science and innovation.

The North America – Research Education Exchange (NA-REX) interconnects international exchange points in the U.S. and Canada using a common architecture, integrated services, shared tools, and aligned operations.
