UK and Ireland education IT systems to be linked
NTL Ireland has been chosen by the UK and Ireland's two Research & Education networks to interlink their IT systems over a high capacity Gigabit Ethernet between Dublin and Belfast.
NTL Ireland will provide high-speed connectivity over its state-of-the-art network linking HEAnet’s network of Universities, Institutes of Technology and researchers across the Republic of Ireland to fellow students, staff and researchers in Northern Ireland and Great Britain through HEAnet's UK counterpart JANET.
Commenting on the decision, Victor Reijs, Network Development Manager from HEAnet said: “An important factor in HEAnet choosing NTL was its proven cross-border capability to provide and manage a secure infrastructure.”
Liam Duggan, Commercial Director, Business Division of NTL Ireland, added: “We are delighted to provide HEAnet with the benefits that derive from using our advanced digital fibre optic network throughout the Republic of Ireland and connecting to JANET in the UK.
"This is an all-Ireland initiative and demonstrates NTL’s proven capability of providing first class solutions to organisations such as HEAnet with sites across the Republic of Ireland.”
The new enhanced connection will enable HEAnet and JANET on-line users to co-operate on high-speed applications such as real-time modelling, IPv6 development, satellite feed, supercomputing, advanced CAD (Computer Aided Design) and much more.
