ABOUT US
SUN CORRIDOR NETWORK
Arizona’s Research and Education Network, connecting institutions and communities statewide
Our Arizona roots run deep. Sun Corridor Network was founded by Arizona’s three public universities: Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona. The universities came together, with sponsorship from the Arizona Board of Regents, to create direct high-speed connections with one another and with Internet2.
Today, that foundation supports a much broader vision for connectivity across Arizona.
Sun Corridor Network connects Arizona institutions to advanced national and international research and education networks and helps organizations access the high-performance infrastructure they need to collaborate, innovate, and serve their communities.
Our network supports scientific discovery, secure data sharing and transfer, education, healthcare, public services, and community initiatives across Arizona. We work with higher education, K-12, government, public safety, libraries, community organizations, healthcare institutions, and other partners whose work depends on secure, reliable, high-performance connectivity.
Eligible Arizona research and education institutions can work with Sun Corridor Network and access advanced networking capabilities designed to support collaboration, research, teaching, learning, and innovation. Sun Corridor Network is E-Rate eligible. Subscribers include K-20 schools and school districts, community colleges, libraries, museums and cultural institutions, and government organizations.
High-performance connectivity
Members using Sun Corridor Network gain direct access to Internet2’s high-performance, low-latency research and education network, extending their ability to collaborate, move data, and connect with institutions nationwide. SCN also provides access to major cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, along with other peering opportunities that support increasingly complex digital environments.
Community impact at the center
For Sun Corridor Network, the idea of a “network” extends beyond infrastructure. We also bring people and institutions together around shared opportunities for Arizona. Through collaborations with education, healthcare, government, nonprofit, community, research, and private-sector partners, we help expand access to advanced technologies, strengthen connections among institutions, and support initiatives that create lasting value for communities across the state.
Our work helps create the infrastructure and partnerships that Arizona’s researchers, educators, healthcare leaders, public servants, entrepreneurs, students, and communities need to shape what comes next.
Through our sponsorship of eligible members into the Internet2 community, Sun Corridor Network connects Arizona institutions to a national ecosystem of schools, universities, research organizations, government agencies, and science and technology partners.
That broader community creates opportunities to share resources, collaborate across institutions, participate in research and education initiatives, and access advanced digital infrastructure far beyond Arizona.
