FSML: High Speed Internet Installation at the Adirondack Ecological Center

纽约州立大学环境科学与林业学院获得了在阿迪朗达克生态中心建立高速互联网能力的赠款，阿迪朗达克生态中心是纽约州北部阿迪朗达克山脉中部的一个野外站点。增强版将通过光缆和无线节点提供T-1到餐饮中心、学生宿舍和教职员工/科学家住房的通道。近年来，空间站在空间站的使用、数据共享、研究和教育推广项目方面都有了戏剧性的增长。改进的互联网连接提供的新能力将导致研究生产率的提高，并加强现有的广泛的本科生和研究生教育计划。在空间站工作的人员将立即获得关键的科学资源，包括地理信息系统、文献和世界各地可用的研究数据。空间站工作人员传播有关研究项目的数据和信息的能力也将大大提高。新的网络还将通过改善森林内部的通信以及与世界各地的合作者，包括LTER、OBF和NEON，促进合作。改善的沟通还将通过在锡拉丘兹主校区提供的课程实现更大的远程学习，从而推进在学年为研究生开发现场住宿计划的战略目标。最后，改善通信将促进该电视台吸引商界领袖和政策制定者获得教育体验的目标。

The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry has been awarded a grant to establish high-speed Internet capacity at the Adirondack Ecological Center, a field station in the central Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State. The enhancement will provide T-1 access to the dining center, student quarters and faculty/scientist housing via fiber-optic cable and wireless nodes. The station has seen a dramatic expansion in station use, data sharing, research and educational outreach programs over recent years. The new capabilities afforded by the improved Internet connectivity will lead to increased research productivity and enhancement of the existing extensive undergraduate and graduate educational programs. People working at the station will have immediate access to critical scientific resources including geographic information systems, literature and research data available throughout the world. The station staff will also have much improved capacity to disseminate data and information about research projects. The new network will also facilitate collaboration through improved communication within the Forest and with collaborators throughout the world including LTER, OBFS and NEON. The improved communication will also advance strategic goals of developing onsite residential programs for graduate students during the academic year by enabling greater distance learning via course offered on the main campus in Syracuse. Finally, improved communications will further the station's goal of engaging business leaders and policy makers for educational experiences.
