GÉANT is delighted to announce that the EC-Funded #GN5-#IC1 project marked its first major achievement, with the successful implementation of a new 100Gbps link between GÉANT’s pan-European #Research and #Education #network and #Singapore.

This is a fundamental step in GN5-IC1 plans to reinforce GÉANT’s #intercontinental #connectivity with the #AsiaPacific, an area already accounting for almost 20% of all GÉANT’s intercontinental traffic and registering growing demand 👉 https://connect.geant.org/2023/06/01/gn5-ic1-project-celebrates-implementation-of-geants-new-connectivity-with-singapore

GÉANT’s Chief Programme Officer Matthew Scott: "#GN5-1 is fundamental to the increasingly diverse European #research environment and the evolution of #OpenScience, linking researchers in vast projects such as the #LHC, #EVN, the Square Kilometre Array, the Human Brain Project, #DestinationEarth to advanced #HPC resources, so they can focus on ground-breaking #innovation that brings socio-economic benefits for all of #Europe.”
