VERNet Pty Limited

VERNet Pty Ltd (VERNet) is deploying optical fibre network infrastructure across Victoria that will help Victoria’s researchers and educators to deliver tomorrow’s ideas faster.

This leading and essential infrastructure will help them to collaborate more effectively in international research and to deliver better science and know how for all Australians.

The network is called the Victorian Education and Research Network.   VERN is a collaborative investment by the Victorian universities, the CSIRO, and the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments.

VERNet is at the forefront of similar initiatives in other states.   The infrastructure rollout will begin in earnest in 2005 and Stage 1 is forecast to be completed in 2007.  For information visit our website:  www.vernet.net.au
