IHETS and Internet2

Opening the door to global collaboration and communication

Internet2 is a high-speed network connecting universities, research networks, and advanced educational networks with the goal of developing and deploying advanced network applications and technology. It provides a connection for educators and researchers to virtually every research network across the globe, opening the door for increased collaboration and enhanced communication.

Through IHETS’ membership as a Sponsored Education Group Participant (SEGP), Indiana's higher education institutions can utilize the newest and most advanced educational technologies—networking tools, applications, middleware, and content. They can also share these technologies with their partners across in other educational sectors throughout the U.S.

SEGP status provides all IHETS members with an Internet2 connection, thereby offering them educational and research opportunities previously available only to large public research institutions. In addition to content resources, Hoosier educators can collaborate with one another or other Internet2/SEGP participants utilizing advanced applications such as multicast, digital video, H.323 video, and future interactive video and multimedia technologies.
