 1. Enable Innovation
BC's experimental research and education projects need high-bandwidth networks. BCNET's advanced networks support these innovations by providing the bandwidth, speed, data-transport capabilities and flexibility needed for experimental, collaborative projects, which would not be possible on the commercial Internet. Super high-speed networks, 10,000 times faster than the commercial Internet, are also highly customizable. BCNET's flexible architecture can meet its members' unique needs for innovative research projects that may require adjustment to the network.
2.
Increase Collaboration and Productivity
BCNET connects our members to the regional, national and international research and education networks, increasing their ability to collaborate and be more productive. Scientists and researchers can share terabytes of data across the continent and around the world.
3. Assist Technological Advancement
BCNET provides BC's research and education community with the technical infrastructure, advice and support to become technologically advanced. As a testing ground for new technologies, we open the door to a vast array of technical resources and applications, such as video conferencing for distributed learning and lightpaths for lightning-speed connectivity.
4. Facilitate Cost-Effective Networks for BC's Research and Higher Education
As a not-for-profit society, BCNET is able to provide fixed-fee costs for increasing network bandwidth for short or long-term projects. BCNET also provides expert technical staff and project managers for increasing network efficiencies and for dedicated support to projects.
