SC21 + CENIC
Categories RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
As the SC21 conference launches both in St. Louis and virtually, CENIC’s network engineering team is hard at work preparing to help support a number of demonstration projects designed to show the power of global collaboration to fuel science and discovery.
CENIC Perspectives: Hybrid Approach to Last-Mile Connectivity Should Include Wireless
As we are entering a moment where decisions are being made about state and federal broadband resources, policymakers should focus on standards for what constitutes broadband rather than the specific technology chosen for last-mile infrastructure.
Progress Towards “Future-Proofing” CENIC’s Network
Categories RENS & NRENS CENIC Perspectives
In support of CENIC’s new spectrum service offering, engineers worked creatively to overcome obstacles posed by the ongoing pandemic including remote collaboration and supply chain slowdowns. The team successfully augmented the spectrum termination capabilities in Los Angeles and in Sunnyvale by 16 flexible grid capable ports, each with the capacity to terminate services between 100G and 800G. This new infrastructure is capable of supporting colorless, directionless, and contentionless (CDC) technologies, which are prerequisites for enabling software provisioning in the optical layer.
