TransPAC: Enhancing Collaboration between Asia-Pacific and US Through High-Performance Networking

The TransPAC program is an NSF-funded initiative designed to provide a high-performance network connecting the Asia-Pacific region and the United States. Launched in June 1998, the program aims to foster collaborative scientific efforts between the two regions. With upgrades increasing bandwidth to 155 Mbps, TransPAC has streamlined operations, supported engineering, and debuted a newsletter in May 2001. The project's activities will continue until its scheduled termination in October 2003, facilitating major events including meetings and performances reviews to enhance networking capabilities.
