What is JANET and what can it do for me?

Take a look at two case studies - Arden College, Southport and the Royal National College for the Blind (Hereford)

JANET is the UK's education and research network and is managed by JANET(UK). It will provide you with reliable, high bandwidth access to the Internet and other education and research networks and resources worldwide.
Through funding provided by the LSC you are joining a community of over 19 million end users who already enjoy the benefits of a JANET connection.

All specialist colleges eligible for a funded JANET connection are entitled to be connected at 2M/bits and make use of JANET services.

Two new web services have been developed especially for your community: web mail and web filtering. A third, webhosting is currently undergoing procurement.

Click on the links in the right hand menu to find out more. You can register for both web mail and web filtering now.

In May and June 2005 specialist colleges were surveyed for their views on the process for connecting to JANET.  Click here to read a summary of the findings.
