What is internet 2 |
|
| |
Interent2 is a consortium being led by more than 207 American Universities working in partnership with industry and government to develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies for research and higher education where Internet2 is recreating the partnership among academia, industry and government that fostered today's Internet in its infancy.
The Internet2 Advanced Applications enable collaboration among people and interactive access to information and resources in a way not possible on today's Internet |
| |
Among these Application |
| |
Digital Libraries |
| |
|
• Virtual Laboratories |
| |
|
• Distance-independent learning |
| |
|
• Tele-immersion |
| |
|
• Digital video |
| |
|
• Network-wide computation and data services such as those under development in the GRID |
| |
The above applications enable common access to remote resources such as telescopes and microscopes.
Display information through virtual reality environments moving from static graphics and images to real time, three dimensional animations.
The video based applications cover everything from video conferencing to on-demand content to remote control microscopes and other instruments.
All the above can make a difference in how we engage in teaching, learning and research in higher education
And as Internet2 has formed peer-level relationships with organizations outside the U.S who have projects similar to Internet2 in scope and objectives; Internet2 currently partners with over 40 of these international organizations and networks. Most of these organizations serve constituencies similar to those of the Internet2 project—universities and other research organizations committed to advancing networking technology and applications for the use of research and education community.
