University of Montana Event Celebrates New High-Speed Network
The University of Montana http://umt.edu/future.aspx will celebrate the completion of a robust research network across northern states between Seattle and Chicago on Thursday, June 3.
The Northern Tier Network Consortium “Golden Spike Event” will begin with a reception at 8:30 a.m. in Law Building Room 201. Presentations will take place from 9:30 a.m. to noon. The event is free and open to the public.
The Northern Tier Network connects Montana and other northern states to a national high-speed network, providing affordable 10-gigabit-per-second network connections — a 10,000-fold bandwidth increase over a typical broadband connection — for research, education, public health care and government uses. Completion of the 700-mile route across Montana was the final step of the six-year network project.
The “Golden Spike Event” will include speakers and presenters from Health Information Exchange of Montana, the U.S. Forest Service, Indiana University Global Research Network Operations Center, the Great Plains Network, Internet2, the University of Utah and others.
A variety of video conferencing systems will be demonstrated during the event. Demonstrations also will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 2, in Law Building Room 201.
The Northern Tier Network Consortium comprises research universities from 13 states. More information about the consortium is available at http://www.ntnc.org .
