WPI will connect to the gigaPoP using an OC-3 ATM fiber link. WPI will further enhance its high performance ATM intranet to provide access to all meritorious researchers, and eventually all members of the WPI community. Our Network Operations Group will configure the network and work with Internet2 and Abilene staff to establish QoS for meritorious researchers, while monitoring and measuring network performance parameters. These diverse areas of research will provide a spectrum of benefits. Medical applications, and remote diagnostics affect humanity and our quality of life.
Fire protection provides for safe buildings and working environments.
Numerical computations and data mining solve previously intractable or impossible problems and find new relationships among data. Internetworking research will make the next generation of networks more robust and secure while being seamlessly available, anywhere, anytime.
