Calit2 has formed two divisional councils to provide leadership and strategic direction. It has also developed multiple communication channels like brochures and websites. Two new Calit2 buildings at UC San Diego and UC Irvine will provide major new laboratories linked by dedicated optical networks for over 1000 researchers working across disciplines like nanotechnology, biomedicine, and digital arts. Calit2 is also working on applications of high-speed networks for areas like telemedicine, disaster response, and digital cinema.
