10Gbps 2.5Gbps funded by NICT 622Mbps funded by NII 155Mbps Tokyo Hong Kong Pacific Wave Karachi Singapore TEIN2 PoP A project funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) has deployed a high-performance international research and education (R&E) network connection between PERN – and its successor network PERN2 – and the global research and education network community. The physical network consists of a STM-1 (155Mbps) connection between the PERN/PERN2 connection point in Karachi, Pakistan and the TEIN2 landing point in Singapore. Connectivity in Singapore is provided by the European Commission TEIN2 Project. From Singapore, high-performance bandwidth is available to Tokyo, the various networks of the Asia Pacific Advanced Network consortium (APAN), and Europe via the TEIN2 Project. From Tokyo, transit is available to the US via the NSF-funded TransPAC2 Project. The project is now turning its attention to developing and enhancing US-Pakistan research and education collaborations.

HOW TO USE IN PAKISTAN If your research group or organization is connected to the PERN/PERN2 network, you are already connected to this new international connection. Your everyday research and education activities (email, file transfers, etc.) will automatically use this new connection with no additional effort on your part. If your research group or organization is not connected to the PERN network, please contact the Pakistan HEC. HOW TO USE IN THE US If your research group or organization is connected to the Internet2 Network or National LambdaRail, then you are already connected to this new international connection.
