Australia's Academic and Research Network (AARNet)

Australia's Research and Education Network (AARNet) provides high-capacity, cost-effective Internet services to the education and research communities and their research partners. AARNet focuses on collaboration, teaching, learning and research by connecting people to Internet resources anywhere, anytime. With its access to the global Internet, AARNet is an incubator for the development of advanced network infrastructure and applications.

AARNet is an international member of ResearchChannel and an active partner involved in the hosting and distribution of academic and research content and in pushing the boundaries of the video streaming through high-definition TV. Although infrastructure is important, access to a wide variety of online content is seen as a vital component to ResearchChannel to assist educators and researchers in making digital information in text, image, voice and video available to all, to enhance the teaching and learning process. AARNet and ResearchChannel have collaborated for many years and work is ongoing to deliver a range of Australian specific content to augment the current ResearchChannel content store that will be of value to the ResearchChannel community.
