Future net connectivity initiatives
While more people are enjoy high-speed internet every day, from their school, from the office or from the comfort of their home, there are other people who are currently preparing the future of net connectivity.
Here are the projects you should learn more about if you’re serious about “insanely high speed” for you digital data packets transport:
- Coronet – Code name for the Darpa project looking to provide highly secure, multi-terabit core optical networks to the telecom industry.
- GENI – Next generation master plan for tomorrow’s internet, as envisioned by the National Science Foundation.
- Internet2 – Well established academic group focused on building high-speed networks for distributed computing, namely between universities.
There are quite a few more projects out there looking to build (somewhat smaller scale) very high speed networks but these three should, in and of themselves, get you excited about the internet’s capability to sustain our future needs to convey ever heavier information loads, from and to countless access points, domestically and abroad.
Furthermore, lots of R&D is going on alongside these great initiatives and perhaps you should explore those areas too, especially if you’re interested in learning what the future has in store for internet connectivity!
