Internet2 is a faster, more advanced version of the regular internet with bandwidth speeds 100-1000 times faster. It is currently limited to over 300 member organizations including universities, companies, and government agencies who are working to develop new technologies. Some examples of applications being developed include remote surgery, virtual office environments, and nanotechnology research tools. The goals of Internet2 are to advance the network and provide tools to enable new forms of collaboration and discovery.

2. Internet 2 is basically an innovated way faster version of the regular Internet we all use. This internet is limited to many few users and who knows when we will use it in the future. Pulls down files in a touch instead of minutes Limited and its backbone is made up entirely of large-capacity fiber-optic cables. Rather than Internet1 As a result, Internet2 moves data 100 to 1,000 times faster than the old-fashioned Internet. More than 200 universities, 70 private companies, 45 government agencies, and 45 international organizations log on to Internet2 every day. It’s better faster. You can’t use it

3. History, Goals & Strategies…Oh My!

4. In 1996 Internet2 was formed by 34 university researchers Michael M Roberts, project director Promotes the missions of over 300 members Provides both leading-edge network capabilities and unique partnership opportunities Beyond just providing network capacity, Internet2 actively engages our community in the development of important new technology History Michael M Roberts excepting his position as project director for Internet2. President and CEO H. David Lambert

6. Goal I – To design, operate, and continually advance a leading-edge research and education network as a national asset

7. Goal II – To provide researchers and scholars with the tools and support they need to envision and execute the next generation of collaborative discovery

8. Goal III – To maintain vigorous partnership, outreach, and advocacy programs to mutually develop, promote, and share the transformational power of cyberinfrastructure throughout various communities

9. Goal IV – To operate the Internet2 organization as a commendable membership organization with empowered leadership, financial simplicity and member engagement at all levels in order to achieve the membership's shared objectives as communicatived through participatory governance and continuous assessmentGoals

11. Ensure user access to standards-based tools and services

12. Leverage our leadership in middleware and security

13. Develop a clear model for enabling network research

14. Become the “community commons” for cyberinfrastructure

15. Develop an effective advocacy program to advance cyberinfrastructure

16. Promote innovation and technology transfer with corporate members

17. Ensure that members embrace their shared commitmentsStrategies

19. Applications

20. The focus of Internet2 is on enabling applications. It isn't possible to forecast all the applications we will see, however a sample of current ideas and applications will give us a taste of the future. Possibilites

21. Digital libraries featuring streaming high-quality audio and video content, large bitmap scanned images that appear instantaneously on the screen, and new forms of data visualization. Music instruction with high-quality, multi-channel, multi-party audio and video; interactivity, to support ensemble playing and music/dance improvisation; and synchronization of audio, video, and annotations. Tele-medicine, including remote diagnosis and monitoring. Innovation

22. Remote Surgery Columbus, OH -- January 7, 2000 -- An audience watched a surgeon sew up a herniated bladder as another surgeon, two miles away in the Rhodes State Office Tower, collaborated with him as part of a live demonstration of Internet2 technology on January 11 .

23. Remote surgery is made available through advances in advanced networking applications such as haptics (touch-sensitive or tactile enabling technologies. Internet2 is enabling pioneering scientists in medical and technical fields to make minimally-invasive, Internet-based surgery techniques a future reality Remote surgery

24. Office of the future

25. The Office of the Future project is striving to to bring together geographically distant persons in a realistic, tele-collaborative environment Using real-time computer vision techniques, dynamic 3D images of your colleague in their office surroundings are captured and transmitted to your Office of the Future where virtual reality technology is used to create a life-size, visual portal into the distant space. Virtual office

26. Tele-vator excavation backhoe Tele-vator is a computerized excavation backhoe that can be remotely operated over Internet2 High Performance networks.

27. Tele-vatorrequires a high level of sophisticated two-way feedback, including adequate depth of vision provided via high-definition stereovision. Guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS) — such as network bandwidth, latency (delay) control, and jitter (variability in delay) control — are essential to insure the quality of the 3D image, audio, and equipment control channels required by Tele-vator´s remote operators Tele-vator backhoe

28. The Nano-Manipulator The Nano-Manipulator is an interface to scanning probe microscopes (SPM) allowing users to see, feel, and manipulate samples ranging in size from DNA to single atoms.

29. A nanoManipulator can be used collaboratively by scientists in a "virtual laboratory" environment that allows remote access to a shared microscope and previously collected data. the typical scientific experiment using the nanoManipulator lasts for many hours, creating a long-lived high demand on the network. The Nano-Manipulator

30. The possibilities of internet 2 are endless and are changing daily. Overall internet 2 is much faster an more capable than our current form of internet yet with more power comes more responsibility .

31. Is Internet2 a separate network? Will Internet2 replace the current commercial Internet? How will Internet2 benefit current Internet users? How much is being invested in Internet2 and where is the money coming from? What are some of Internet2's long-term goals? FAQS about Internet 2

32. Internet2 is a lot faster than the internet we use today, but we can’t use it..yet! Internet2 members and institutions are aiming to share their knowledge to many computer users today. This approach characterized the first Internet and it can work again today. CONCLUSION

33. Thank you very much!
