Optical Networking White Papers
Networking and Collaboration Keep the Aggies in the Game
Overview Texas A&M University - home of the "Aggies" - is one of America's premiere teaching and research institutions. The need for communication - be it via audio, video or web conferencing - extends far beyond the 5200-acre main campus to its branch locations widely dispersed throughout Texas, to international locations in Mexico and Qatar, as well as to other schools. AT&T GigaMAN dedicated fiber optic connections and Customized Switched Metro Ethernet (CSME) services provide fast, reliable last mile access to the network and to the main campus. These enable students to take advantage of remote learning opportunities, help professors enrich course content and allow researchers to partner with peers from other institutions and compete for grant dollars.
