Reginonal Networking in New England

马萨诸塞州理工学院请求NSF的支持 伍斯特实验生物学基金会 西蒙斯学院，本特利学院，巴布森学院，惠顿 罗杰威廉姆斯学院到新英格兰学术学院 研究网络（NEARnet）是NSF的中级网络 服务于新英格兰地区。 NEARnet的主要目标是 促进合作项目和资源共享 机构之间，包括国家以外的机构之间。 NEARnet将提供业务管理和信息 服务，它将使六所大学连接到 NSFNET是一种高速网络（每秒1.5 - 45百万比特）， 国家骨干网。 每一所大学都写了一份关于其 互联网接入的好处说明 包括：更强大的功能和网络 速度能够访问超级计算机，图书馆，并使 文件传输沿着，并能够实现更可靠的 邮件系统学生和教师的研究将受益于 链接. 这也是一个独特的机会，为学校， 探索创新教育资源。 其多样性将 使NEARnet能够满足更广泛的用户需求。 近网 我将利用为这个多元化的群体服务所获得的信息， 为了新英格兰的学术和研究 社区 **//

Massachusetts Institute of Technology requests support from NSF for connection of Worcester Foundation of Experimental Biology, Simmons College, Bentley College, Babson College, Wheaton College, and Roger Williams College to the New England Academic Research Network (NEARnet) which is the NSF mid-level network that serves the New England area. A primary goal of NEARnet is to facilitate collaborative projects and sharing of resources between institution, including those outside the state. NEARnet will provide operations management and information services and it will give the six universities a connection to the NSFNET, a high speed (1.5 - 45 million bits per second) National Backbone network. The each of the universities has written a description of its organization and a statement of the benefits of Internet access that it expects including: greater functionality and network speed to be able to access supercomputers, libraries, and make file transfers along with being able to implement a more reliable mail system. Students and faculty research will benefit from the links. This is also a unique opportunity for the schools to explore innovative educational resources. Their diversity will expose NEARnet to a broader range of user requirements. Nearnet will use the information obtained by serving this diverse group for the benefit of New England's academic and research community.***//
