The implementation of Internet2 at UVI will increase the University's connectivity by 15 times its current rate. Access to this network is made possible through a contribution from Global Crossing, the sponsorship of Florida International University's AMPATH project, and the UVI Research and Technology Park Corporation (RTPark), which is providing material technical assistance, access to collocation facilities, and other shared resources.
UVI's connection to the Global Crossing "pipe' will allow faster access to a number of electronic resources and teaching and learning technologies. Access to the network will improve UVI's video conferencing capability, as well as access to educational, medical and other research data compiled in more than 86 countries.
