INTERNET2 NOTES
Washington is one of five states selected to be a pioneer in developing and bringing the next generation of Internet materials, applications, and tools to K-12 schools and colleges.
Read MoreLucent Technologies (NYSE: LU), Canoga Perkins, and the University of Washington today announced the industry's first enhanced Wideband Wave Division Multiplexing (WWDM) trial transmitting in the 1400 nanometer (nm) band of optical fiber. The trial will be conducted at the University of Washington, Seattle, using Canoga Perkins' 6000 Series WWDM optical networking system and Lucent's revolutionary AllWave Fiber beginning in the fall.
Read MoreBroadcasters, telecommunication, and Internet experts celebrated today when the first live high definition television newscast produced over the Internet successfully reached television viewers in Seattle on KING 5's digital television channel. Attendees at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Convention in Las Vegas watched the live production in progress as four simultaneous HDTV streams were sent from Seattle over new high speed Internet networks to the Sony exhibition booth at the Convention Hall, switched on site for the live newscast, and streamed back over the Internet to Seattle for KING 5 viewers.
Read MoreSeven high technology leaders collaborated at SC99 today to set a number of internet speed records, demonstrating that long-distance gigabit-per-second networking is ready for prime time and that next generation Internet technologies and capabilities are emerging in applications, in end-systems, and in network infrastructure.
Read MoreEfforts at the University of Washington (UW) to send studio-quality High Definition Television (HDTV) over the Internet paid off on September 9, when computer engineers and television experts celebrated their first successful demonstration of HDTV video transmission over the Internet2 network.
Read MoreWashington State University has established a connection to the next
generation communications network known as Internet2. This very-high-speed network is a
collective effort of more than 150 U.S. universities, the federal government and private industry.
The Internet2 connection is accomplished over fiber-optic circuits and is approximately 1,500
times faster than a typical dialup modem connection. The connection will greatly enhance
transmission of data for a variety of applications critical to higher education and research.
The Pacific/Northwest GigaPoP, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland State University, the Oregon Graduate Institute and the University of Washington today announced that WCI Cable (WCIC) has become an Internet2 Corporate Partner. As part of its next generation Internet Corporate Partnership, WCIC is providing a high-speed fiber optic cable link connecting Portland, PSU, OGI and OHSU to the national Internet2 research and education network via the Pacific/Northwest GigaPoP.

Read MoreThis new network link provides a crucial high-performance connection between the major national Internet2 network hub in Seattle which serves the Northwest, and The University of Alaska Statewide System in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Read MoreThe University of Washington, a key player in bringing the Internet to the Pacific Northwest, is actively addressing the next generation of Internet challenges: efficient and reliable data exchange over significantly increased bandwidths. The UW is bringing its expertise to bear on these issues by participating in several nationwide high-bandwidth initiatives.
Read MoreA University of Washington astronomer peers at the heavens through a computer screen linked to a telescope hundreds of miles away. Computer engineers in Seattle and Pittsburgh discuss a knotty research problem via a video wall that makes it look like they're standing in adjoining rooms. A doctor in Alaska sits in as UW physicians in Seattle discuss new treatments for diseases of the brain. All these scenarios are possible via the Internet -- not the one that millions of AOL customers use for e-mail and surfing the Net, but the high-speed, research-only network known as Internet 2.
Read MoreIn addition to the advanced networking capabilities that are the focus of Internet2, the Abilene project provides a high performance backbone network to support the applications research and development needed to advance the state of the art in virtual laboratories, digital libraries, and distance-independent education.
Read MoreThe University of Washington today announced two major milestones in advanced Internet connectivity for the Pacific Northwest. Both developments are part of UW's Pacific Northwest Gigapop project, the recipient of significant support from the 1998 Washington State Legislature.
