HEAnet (Ireland)

The HEAnet Schools Network is providing reliable high-speed internet connectivity to primary and post-primary schools nationwide.

A study involving HEAnet finds that it will be possible to monitor the utility grid without satellite-based time data, thereby increasing resilience significantly.

HEAnet is expanding its “eduroam Everywhere” project. Eduroam is a global secure mobility service developed for the academic and research community.

Over a period of just eight weeks, national research and education network HEAnet partnered with Dell Technologies to supply over 16,700 students from 36 Universities, Institutes of Technology, and ETBs across Ireland.

Researchers at La Trobe University, Australia, collaborate with colleagues conducting fieldwork at archeological sites across Africa. FileSender, a solution enabling these researchers and thousands of others worldwide to transfer large datasets from the field to the lab, is now benefiting from a new home for sustainable R+E software development.

The provision of high-speed broadband to many primary and every post-primary school in Ireland affords schools greater opportunity to embed technology in the teaching and learning process. This opens the door to a faster, richer, more interactive and more informative Internet experience than was possible before.
