Internet 2

To improve our collaborative environment and expand our technological opportunities, UCG is now connected to Internet 2. Clemson University has closed the cyber gap in South Carolina by joining the national high-speed research community through direct fiber connections between Clemson, Greenville, and Atlanta, providing direct access to the National LambdaRail, Internet2 and other national and international research networks.

This cooperative effort now provides academic researchers and faculty with leading-edge capabilities using direct fiber connectivity to high-capacity networks and resources that will enable research, academic and economic advancements and opportunities. Internet 2 specifically provides faculty with the infrastructure they need to collaborate with colleagues and access resources nationally and internationally and ensures the capability to apply for major research grants from funding agencies like the National Science Foundation.
