ASREN connects Jordan to global R&E networks

The Arab States Research and Education Network (ASREN), has recently connected the Jordanian University Network (JUNet) to the ASREN pop in Amman, Jordan, and onwards to London, providing JUNet connectivity to GÉANT and the global R&E netwoks. The support for JUNet follows an upgrade of the ASREN Amman – London connection from 155Mbps to 1Gbps, made possible with financial support from the EUMEDCONNECT3 project, funded by the European Commission. 

NORDUnet welcomes Jordan back in the globally connected R&E network family.
