Taking Education Beyond the Classroom and into the
World!
What is Sun Corridor Network? Arizona’s Tri-University Research & Education
Network. Collaboration among ASU, NAU, and UofA. Sponsored by Arizona Board of Regents.
Enables heightened collaboration and more educational opportunities for Arizona public schools, colleges, libraries, museums and state universities.
Through very high speed network services, provides access to research and education digital applications, content and programs throughout the U.S. and beyond.
What is Sun Corridor Network? Comprised of 100gbs
connections between Tucson & Phoenix; 10gbs between Phoenix & Flagstaff
Two 100gbs connections to Internet2; Tucson & Phoenix
25/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) at UA UITS
Enables partnerships and shared resources among Arizona members
Enables subscriber access to Internet2's national network infrastructure, community and services
What is Internet2? A community of academic,
research, industry and government organizations in advanced networking and applications for learning and research
A national backbone network - including the most advanced 100 gigabit networking technologies
Optimized research and education collaboration among; ~300 member higher
education institutions ~50 leading science, education
and technology partners e.g. NASA, NOAA, NSF
89 industry partners

Speed Requirements
Rationale
• High bandwidth is needed for applications such as HD videoconferencing, content streaming, and large file sharing and transfer
• Symmetric bandwidth helps with real time 2-way communication such as videoconferencing, video chat, large file transfer, and VoIP (low)
• High Quality of Service (QoS), in particular low latency, is needed for real time applications. Examples include cloud computing, and videoconferencing
Italics = Requires significant upstream bandwidth (symmetric)

What are the possibilities? Teachers can bring into their classrooms resources
from the Smithsonian Institution, PBS Learning Media, the Digital Public Library of America, the Hadron Collider, the National Park Service and other programs from around the world
High school labs can increase the scope of experiments that students can perform with remote access to perform experiments through iLabsCentral, at Northwestern University
Access to rich multimedia digital collections; real-time e-science, real-time e-discovery; and On-demand streaming video
Use of high-definition, interactive, multipoint videoconferencing for sharing teaching resources
Online educational gaming, immersive learning environments and visualization methodologies
