Building on strong foundations: Sun Corridor Network connects Arizona to Internet2

When it comes to bringing broadband to research and education institutions statewide, the providers we work with matter. Our network needs to be secure, fast and ready to meet growing digital needs.

That’s why Sun Corridor Network is proud to serve as Arizona’s only Internet2 connector network. As a not-for-profit networking consortium, Internet2 provides secure and affordable online access to institutions across the U.S. This partnership brings a unique set of capabilities designed specifically for innovation in research and education.

Why Internet2?

Internet2 is the fastest, most advanced network for higher education in the United States. Through its services – which include eduroam – it enables educational institutions and communities to connect securely and efficiently. 

Sun Corridor Network’s infrastructure, which spans from Tucson to Phoenix and Flagstaff, connects nodes to Internet2’s Innovation Platform. This provides access to a combination of new technologies and services with leading-edge, end-to-end architecture.

Collaboration with Internet2 plays a vital role in bringing high-speed broadband across the state, supporting the success of individuals and communities across Arizona. By partnering with community anchor institutions, Sun Corridor Network extends the benefits of Internet2 to underserved populations, ensuring more residents have access to digital opportunities. 

Ultimately, using Internet2 supports education, research, and economic growth across the state. Learn more about Sun Corridor Network’s use of Internet2.
