Forskningsnettet is the high-speed network which connects and has been connecting Danish universities and research institutions since 1987. Today, about 100 institutions are connected. In 2008 Forskningsnettet was upgraded and now has its own optical fibers. This means higher speed and more stability for the end-users of Forskningsnettet.
Forskningsnettet has its own optical fiber infrastructure with 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet connections. These connections ensure that Forskningsnettet can provide researchers, students and teachers with optimum connections for transmission of large amounts of data as well as global cooperation.
