SCI: Puerto Rico Regional Network for High performance Connection

这项建议旨在建立一个区域研究和教育网络，最初在波多黎各的六个私立机构之间，并最终将它们与Abilene/Internet2先进网络连接起来。波多黎各的电信费用非常高，对于一所规模较小的私立大学来说，往往令人望而却步。通过建立自己的基础设施，他们的意图是建立和共同管理一个网络，该网络将加强波多黎各资金不足的小型学院和大学的研究人员和学生目前可以获得的教育、合作和技术机会。波多黎各教育网络(PREN)最初将由以下大学组成：圣胡安圣心大学(USH)位于巴亚蒙的加勒比大学(UCC)庞塞天主教大学(PUCPR)-庞塞校区庞塞天主教大学(PUCPR)-马亚格斯校区庞塞天主教大学(PUCPR)-阿雷西博校区波多黎各理工大学(PUPR)在项目第二年将增加其他拟议的连接器，可能包括Carlos Albizu大学-圣胡安美国大学-巴亚蒙中央大学-巴亚蒙

This proposal seeks to develop a regional research and education network, initially among six private institutions in Puerto Rico, and to, ultimately, connect them to the Abilene/Internet2 advanced network. Telecommunications costs are extremely high in Puerto Rico and often prohibitive for a small, private college. By creating infrastructure of their own, the intention is to build and jointly manage a network which will enhance the educational, collaborative and technological opportunities currently available to researchers and students in small, poorly funded colleges and universities in Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico Educational Network (PREN) will initially be composed of the following universities: University of the Sacred Heart (USH) in San JuanUniversidad Central del Caribe (UCC) in BayamonCatholic University of Ponce (PUCPR) - Ponce campusCatholic University of Ponce (PUCPR) - Mayaguez campusCatholic University of Ponce (PUCPR) - Arecibo campusPolitechnical University of Puerto Rico (PUPR) in San JuanAdditional proposed connectors will be added in the second year of the project and may includeCarlos Albizu University - Old San JuanAmerican University - BayamonUniversidad Central de Bayamon - Bayamon
