IU Bloomington has launched a new high-speed Internet service for research and education, which is now available to IU Southeast. The new Monon100 network link is an Internet speed upgrade from 10 to 100 gigabytes per second, making it one of the fastest in the nation. The purpose of the upgrade is to expedite access to IU Bloomington’s super computer, or “Big Red,” in order to compute enormous volumes of data involved in certain types of research.

People couldn’t log into their computers while others couldn’t surf the Internet at fast speeds. This is one reason the IUS network is about to get a speed boost from a program called i-Light.
