This document discusses the capabilities and benefits of the Internet2 network. It notes that Internet2 has much higher capacity than previous networks, with initial capacity of 10 times faster and the ability to support 10 gigabit wavelengths with future unlimited capacity. This high-speed network allows for real-time collaboration, remote access to expertise, and authentic learning experiences through high-quality video interaction. The Internet2 network acts as a community asset for universities, researchers, K-12 education, and industry both domestically and internationally.
