The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) was originally conceived in 2014 by member institutions of CENIC, the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California, as a way to support data-intensive research projects. The challenge was to connect multiple researchers located in multiple locations who require rapid access to dispersed datasets. It has become a significant force in developing an entirely new model of cyber-infrastructure ecology.
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.

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.
