Abstract

ANU Researchers participate in a range of global collaborations which increasingly require access to high bandwidth network capacity nationally and internationally.

This presentation provides an overview of the international R&E networks and reviews the capabilities national R&E networks are now delivering to support the emerging data requirements underlying high end collaboration, the “big sciences” and national research capability.

How Does our Current Capability Compare with Other National Research and Education Networks Around the World?
