| Abstract: | This ultra-high-speed optical fiber infrastructure, built by Indiana and Purdue Universities with funding from the State of Indiana, provides near-limitless bandwidth among three core research campuses, as well as digital on-ramps to the commodity internet and Internet2. It has removed network connectivity as a constraint on research, teaching and learning, and information technology systems and services deployment, and provides a basis for expansion of the network throughout the state. |
