Highlights

C@ribNET on track for February 2012

The regional network C@ribNET is on track to be up and running by the end of February 2012. According to Mr. Eriko Porto, Caribbean Knowledge and Learning Network's Consultant for Network Engineering Services, everything is proceeding smoothly, telecommunication circuits commissioned by LIME for the C@ribNET backbone are now complete. These circuits, assembled in a ring topology, link Trinidad and Tobago, Miami, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.

With the backbone in place, the international circuits connecting C@ribNET to Internet2, Géant, RedCLARA, and other Global Networks- are also complete.

“We are following a detailed schedule for deploying equipment for the access nodes in the respective countries, and activation is expected early in January. So we are on target, and C@ribNET should be ready for use in the region by February 2012.”

CANS2011 One Network - One World

CANS2011, the 12th meeting of the Chinese – American Networking Symposium since 1999, was held August 8-10, 2011 in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China. This year’s symposium covered topics in deployment, interoperability and management; middleware and security-related issues; integration of new technologies; and evolving “applications views” of networks. In addition, the organizing committee put special emphasis on bringing together U.S. CIOs and their Chinese counterparts. Towards this goal, the symposium included sessions on university technology organization and management, and on how to support remote education and “campuses abroad.” Full CANS2011 Program information is available on the CANS website.
