national Internet 2 efforts, is providing to the UW a state-of-the-art =
fiber
optic connection from Seattle to the University of Alaska Statewide =
System
in Fairbanks, Alaska. This connection will use high-speed "SONET OC-12"
technology, and will bring the new Internet 2 and NGI (Next Generation
Internet) capabilities and technologies to Alaska. It will link the
University of Alaska to the Pacific/Northwest Gigapop, which is the =
major
national (and only high speed) Internet 2 network hub for the region, =

located in Seattle.
