High-speed communications for KAUST.


The credit for establishing a highspeed communications network at the recently launched King Abdullah University of Science and Technology King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is a research institution which is expected to be completed in 2009. The aim of the University is to promote research and science achievement in Saudi Arabia and around the globe.  (KAUST KAUST King Abdullah University of Science & Technology ) mainly goes to the Saudi Telecommunications Company (STC STC Supplemental Type Certificate (FAA)
STC Society for Technical Communication
STC Subject to Change
STC Surf the Channel (website)
STC Sound Transmission Class
STC Singapore Turf Club
).

This network will also enable Saudi esearch and educational institutions to ollaborate using high-performance computing facilities at KAUST and ther universities around the world.

The high-tech world class research niversity, located 80 km north of eddah on the Red Sea coast, will serve as the hub of the Saudi Arabian dvanced Research and Education etwork (SAREN). STC played a crucial role in making the media overage Overage

STC also ensured the services of the echnical working team at King Khaled ontrol Center of the national network for instant monitoring of the accuracy in erformance and quality in services of obile coverage at the university and its surrounding areas especially roads eading to the university during the ccasion.

This was through 15 fixed nd mobile stations for G2 and G3 ervices.

In partnership with STC, KAUST is eveloping SAREN as a high-speed ptical network that will connect esearch and educational institutions within the Kingdom.

Using STC stateof-art next generation IP/MPLS IP/MPLS Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching  etwork, SAREN will give other Saudi nstitutions access to Shaheen, the KAUST supercomputer, and CORNEA cornea: see eye. ,which will be one of the world's most dvanced visualization labs, as well as other core lab facilities at KAUST.

At the same time, KAUST is onnecting via an optical submarine iber optic cable that allows researchers to transmit data at a rate of 10 gigabitsAaper second (Gbps) - comparable to the apacity available to researchers at IT.

The cable will connect to NetherLight,a leading optical exchange network that inks international scientific computing and grid applications to other highcapacity lobal research networks.

NetherLight, operated by SURFnet, the etherlands' national network rganization for higher education and research, will make it possible for esearchers in more than 50 countries o use KAUST's computing capabilities and collaborate with scientists across audi Arabia - and vice versa.
