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一笔拨款，用于在阿迪朗达克生态中心建立高速互联网容量。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。该改进将提供T-1通过光纤电缆和无线节点进入餐饮中心、学生宿舍和教师/科学家宿舍。近年来，该站在站点使用、数据共享、研究和教育推广项目方面取得了巨大的发展。互联网连接的改善所带来的新能力将提高研究效率，并加强现有广泛的本科和研究生教育计划。在该站工作的人们可以立即获得关键的科学资源，包括地理信息系统、文献和世界各地的研究数据。该站工作人员传播有关研究项目的数据和资料的能力也将大大提高。新的网络还将通过改善森林内部以及与世界各地的合作者（包括LTER、OBFS和NEON）的沟通来促进协作。沟通的改善还将推进在学年期间为研究生开发现场住宿项目的战略目标，通过雪城主校区提供的课程实现更大的远程学习。最后，改善沟通将进一步推动该站吸引商业领袖和政策制定者参与教育体验的目标。

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.
