MOREnet: MOREnet deploys coherent 100 Gbps via Fujitsu FLASHWAVE 9500

The Missouri Research and Education Network (MOREnet), which has been serving the network capacity needs of research and education institutions in the state for more than 20 years, has upgraded its fiber-optic network to support 100-Gbps wavelengths via FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet Optical Networking Platforms from Fujitsu Network Communications, the optical transport systems vendor announced. The increased capacity will enable MOREnet’s user community of scientists, researchers, educators, and physicians practicing in teaching hospitals to share very large data sets and images, participate in video conferencing, and download streaming audio and video, among other high-bandwidth applications.
