Internet2 Technology Evaluation Centers (ITECs)
As regional centers of advanced communications,
the ITECs take advantage of the concentration of universities in the state/region
that are conducting research in telemedicine, virtual laboratories, remote
shared resources, distance learning, digital libraries, multi-media, distributed
computing, testing new equipment and much more. The ITECs partner with corporations,
academic institutions and other government agencies.
The ITEC program was created by Internet2, to establish national network-testing
laboratories for users of the nationwide high-performance Internet2 network
infrastructure. The four ITEC sites are located at ITEC-Ohio at The Ohio State
University, NC-ITEC at North Carolina State University's Centennial Campus,
San Diego Supercomputing Center, and the Voice over IP ITEC at Texas A&M
University.
