HPNC: High Performance Network Connections for Science and Engineering Research at Bethune-Cookman College and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

白求恩-库克曼学院(B-CC)是一所历史悠久的黑人学院，是一所国际知名的本科文理学院。安布里-里德尔航空大学(ERAU)是世界上最古老、最大和最负盛名的大学，专门从事航空和航空航天，并授予本科生和研究生学位。该项目是这两个不同机构之间的独特合作，通过以经济高效的方式连接到Internet 2来促进有价值的研究。白求恩库克曼学院(B-CC)和安布里里德尔航空大学(ERAU)将分担DS-3(45 Mbps)数据线路到Internet2的费用。B-CC将是汇聚点，然后将通过中佛罗里达大学连接到南佛罗里达大学GigaPOP，在那里将发生Internet2对等。该连接的目的是协助和扩大目前在生物学(B-CC)、气象学和空中交通管理(ERAU)方面的研究。该项目还为传统上代表性较低的人群，即历史上黑人大学(B-CC)的科学家、学生和教育工作者提供了最先进的研究机会。

Bethune-Cookman College (B-CC), a historically black college, is an internationally respected undergraduate liberal arts and sciences college. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is the world's oldest, largest, and most prestigious university specializing in aviation and aerospace and granting undergraduate and graduate degrees. This project is a unique collaboration between these two diverse institutions to facilitate meritorious research by connecting to Internet 2 in a cost effective manner. Bethune Cookman College (B-CC) and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) will share costs for a DS-3 (45Mbps) data circuit to Internet2. B-CC will be the aggregation point and will then connect thru University of Central Florida to the University of South Florida gigaPOP where the Internet2 peering will occur. The purpose of the connection is to assist and expand current research in biology (B-CC), meteorology and air traffic management (ERAU). The project also provides state-of-the-art research accessibility to a traditionally underrepresented population, i.e. scientists, students, and educators at historically black colleges (B-CC).
