Next Meeting:
Date: Dec 1 1:30PM
Location: LCRA Red Bud Center
The Greater Austin Area Telecommunications Network (GAATN) is a joint
effort of:
These entities constructed a metropolitan-wide information super-highway
in Austin, Texas. GAATN provides the foundation for the partners' electronic
communications well into the twenty-first century. GAATN will be an
important stimulus for economic development in Austin because so much
of the success of business depends upon the efficient and effective
delivery of services by government and educational institutions.
The network, owned and managed by the participants, consists of
strands of fiber optic cable connecting the sites of the GAATN participants.
The network can be expanded to include additional GAATN participant
sites. The network design ensures the system will remain operational
despite potential disasters such as cable cuts which can put existing
leased networks out of service for days or weeks.
