Coverage Type: 

A broadband network used by California’s research universities and schools has been upgraded to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps).

The California Research & Education Network (CalREN) has almost 10,000 connection sites among K-12, community colleges, the California State University, University of California campuses and private universities such as Caltech and Stanford. The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) manages and operates CalREN. Officials with the participating institutions said the new 100-Gbps network backbone will help California remain on the leading edge and bring additional capacity needed to expand the network to public libraries and other organizations.
