Internet2 Unveils Plans for an Improved Version of Its Academic High-Speed Network - Vincent Kiernan, Chronicle of Higher Education
Leaders of the Internet2 academic-computing consortium unveiled plans on Tuesday for a new national academic fiber-optic network that would become operational in about 18 months. The new network would replace Internet2's Abilene high-speed network, upon which many colleges depend for both research and day-to-day networking needs. And it would provide researchers with massive amounts of extra bandwidth at a moment's notice. Douglas E. Van Houweling, president of Internet2, said in a talk during the organization's spring meeting here that the new network initially would carry data on 10 different wavelengths of light, each of which could handle 10 gigabits of data per second -- or the total capacity of Abilene -- at a time.
