Participate in large-scale, world-class international research projects
High-speed networks up to 10,000 times faster than commercial Internet, allow for high-bandwidth experimental research projects.
Increased productivity
BCNET has a dedicated ultra high-speed network, which means its members receive the highest quality service. Researchers and scientists can easily share terabits of data across the continent and around the world.
Flexibility for unique experimental projects
A highly flexible, agile architecture allows for complete customization of the network to meet our members' unique needs for large- or small-scale experimental, high-bandwidth research and education projects.
Dedicated network experts and project managers
Expert dedicated support and project management staff are available to customize the network for specialized research and education projects.
Cost-effective
Most research projects require experimentation or adjustment to the network, which would be inappropriate on a production network with strict service commitments. BCNET can increase bandwidth for short-or long-term projects for no additional fees, providing a very cost-effective service.
Reduced network traffic fees
BCNET's no-fee regional peering service eliminates carrier costs between members for traffic exchanged at the local city Transit Exchange. Connecting at the Transit Exchange means that members and affiliates can peer with other researchers and educators at the same exchange in a very low-cost way.
Opportunity for Technological Advancement
We provide our members 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.
