UNINETT



         


UNINETT is a Norwegian government-owned company responsible for deploying and maintaining a national research based computer network (usually referred to as "uninett"). They also conduct network research and pilot projects related to high speed connectivity. All of Norway's colleges and universities are connected, and any non-commercial research or educational institution such as libraries, archives and schools may be connected for a yearly fee.

The backbones of uninett are typically 1 or 2.5Gbps fibre optic links. For institutions not near the backbone, the maximum capacity is 155Mbps. Uninett is connected to other similar networks in Nordic countries via NORDUnet. UNINETT and NORDUnet are both part of the Internet.
