First 100 Gbps Transatlantic Network Taking Shape The first-ever
100 gigabits per second pipe across the North Atlantic could
link U.S. and European research and education communities, but
more partners are needed. DANTE -- which stands for Delivery of
Advanced Network Technology to Europe -- is a non-profit
organization set up in 1993 to act as a co-ordinator of large-
scale projects co-funded by the European Commission. It works in
partnership with European National Research and Education
Networks (NRENs) to plan, build and operate advanced networks
for research and education. Its GEANT -- Geometry and Tracking
-- network is a high-speed European communication network
dedicated to research and education. In combination with NREN
partners, GEANT creates a secure, high-speed research
infrastructure that serves 40 million users in over 8,000
institutions across 40 European countries. - Accelerating
