About Internet2

We operate the nation’s largest and fastest R&E network to support data-intensive science and global discovery. We are advancing the backbone toward native 800 Gbps capacity, quantum-safe encryption, and GPS-independent precision timing, so institutions have the capacity, security, and synchronization that data-intensive science demands.

Our cloud programs, including Internet2 NET+, turn community expertise into lasting resources, from peer benchmarking and service comparisons to adoption guides and training. Together, members shape the solutions they need, from communications and collaboration to computing, infrastructure, information security, and AI.

Through InCommon, we deliver secure single sign-on and federated identity management, giving the R&E community trusted access to cloud,  and local services, and global collaboration resources. We also operate eduroam in the U.S., the secure global Wi-Fi access service built by and for the R&E community, so students and researchers stay connected at thousands of locations worldwide.

The collective expertise of our members is the heart of Internet2. Each year, thousands of stakeholders join our flagship events and targeted forums, where leaders align on strategy and practitioners solve complex challenges in real time, turning shared ideas into working solutions that shape the future of discovery.
