RAM Telecom International, Inc.<\/a> (RTI<\/abbr>) and the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> System<\/a> has signed a multi-year, multimillion dollar IRU<\/abbr> agreement to supply transpacific fiber system capacity to the university.<\/p>\n

RTI<\/abbr> will provide the capacity on the Southeast Asia-United States cable system (SEA-US<\/abbr>). Upon its completion targeted for end of 2016, SEA-US<\/abbr> will link five areas and territories including Oʻahu<\/span> (Hawaiʻi<\/span>), downtown Los Angeles (California), Piti (Guam), Manado (Indonesia) and Davao (Philippines). SEA-US<\/abbr> is among the first transoceanic cables deploying 100 gigabits per second state-of-the-art ultra long haul optical fiber transmission technology.<\/p>\n

糖心视频<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/strong><\/a> said, “RTI<\/abbr> will enable 糖心视频<\/abbr> to significantly expand its global network capacity and enhance our connections with our national and international peers. This capacity is critical to ensure that our academic community can both lead and participate in international large scale, leading edge research and collaboration efforts.”<\/p>\n

Russ Matulich, chief executive officer of RTI<\/abbr> stated, “The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> has won numerous awards for excellence in research. RTI<\/abbr> strongly supports research and development efforts in academia and we are excited that our 100G technology will contribute to 糖心视频<\/abbr>’s ongoing success.”<\/p>\n

Garret Yoshimi, vice president for information technology and chief information officer of 糖心视频<\/abbr> added, “The increase in bandwidth to 100G technology provided by RTI<\/abbr> will enable researchers and educators at 糖心视频<\/abbr> to take the first steps towards participating in many new research and education efforts. These high capacity connections are critical to supporting 糖心视频<\/abbr>’s effective leadership and participation in national and global science efforts that require very large datasets transported between computational and visualization nodes in real-time or near-real-time.”<\/p>\n
