Internet2: 100 Gbps
capacity
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 21 October
2007
The completion of Internet2’s new nationwide network infrastructure in the
United States will initially make Internet access speeds of up to 100 Gbps (Gigabits per second)
possible.
‘With an initial capacity of 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps)
nationwide and revolutionary bandwidth-on-demand capabilities, the new Internet2 infrastructure provides
researchers and educators with the ability to transform disciplines across the board from science, to telemedicine,
to network research, to the performing arts’ (100 Gbps Internet2 Network Complete, MyBroadband, 16 October 2007).
In other words, Internet2’s new nationwide network infrastructure
in the US will give research and education a welcome boost.
