100Gigabit Undersea Network Innovation Bridges Education and Science Opportunities between the United States and Latin America<\/p>\n
OpenWave Made Possible by NSF, the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the S\u00e3o Paulo State Research Foundation, and Florida International University
\nMiami, Florida, November 18, 2013<\/p>\n
Florida International University’s Center for Internet Augmented Research and Assessment (CIARA) is pleased to announce OpenWave, a breakthrough undertaking which connects the US to Brazil via an experimental (“alien”) 100 Gigabits\/second<\/strong> wave (optical transmission channel) by means of optical hardware that has never before been field tested over the distances involved.

\nOpenWave will use an already operating international undersea cable system to bridge the route between Miami, FL, and S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, including a 5600km submarine link between St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Fortaleza, Brazil.
\nThe 100G <\/strong>optical equipment has been tested with simulated distances of 5600km in a laboratory setting in Campinas, S\u00e3o Paulo state, Brazil, which has been in operation for over ten years. OpenWave will use this cable system to provide high-capacity, high-quality IP and circuit-oriented connections (hybrid network services) between research and education networks in the U.S. and the RNP and ANSP networks in Brazil, to support large-scale international e-Science (“Big Science”) applications.<\/span><\/p>\n
