The University of Guam today unveiled its new ultra-high-speed 100-Gbps network during an event at the UOG Office of Information Technology. The Guam Open Research and Education eXchange (GOREX) network now connects Guam to Hawai'i and California via the new SEA-US fiber-optic submarine cable.
NICT, NSCC, and SingAREN together have completed a high-speed 100 Gbps international network linking Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan -- infrastructure that will be the backbone of the north- to southeast Asia network for international research and education networks (RENs) in the region.
The California Academy of Sciences now has a direct connection to CENIC’s California Research and Education Network (CalREN), and from there to the world. At a speed of 10 Gbps per second, this access to the ultra-high bandwidth of the CENIC network will provide scientists and patrons of the Academy with fifty times more capacity, enabling new opportunities to engage, create, invent, and learn. Prior to completing the connection to CalREN, the Academy was operating with 200 Mbps of connectivity. This level of enhanced connectivity is already making a difference in day-to-day operations.
