How an NREN is intensifying its efforts to mitigate the consequences of scheduled, rolling electricity outages for its connected institutions.

eduroam - the free Wi-Fi roaming service for the international research and education community - is available at more than 30 airports around the globe, with deployments at airports in Bangladesh and South Africa among the latest.

Solar-powered internet routers will deliver an internet access solution like no other and create new opportunities for research and education.

Simulations of sand dune movements is just one of many examples of how space technology can help the region to protect its environment.

Eduroam is being deployed in hospitals and clinics in South Africa, providing health sciences students and staff with easy access to the internet at off-campus and on-campus training locations

KENET, the national research and education network of Kenya, and its partners have established the first cloud-based Open WiFi architecture in Africa.

Since camels often move between different regions, controlling diseases such as corona viruses calls for a transboundary approach.

South African Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges have received a broadband boost, which will improve the teaching and learning experience for many students across the nation.

Particle physics research datasets that need to be transported to CERN are often large and can require large amounts of bandwidth for short bursts.

Construction of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope has been initiated in South Africa and Australia. A major part of the challenge is to provide the necessary high-speed bandwidth.

A new circuit improves the possibilities for Moroccan researchers to participate in international collaborations such as the high-energy physics experiment ATLAS and the undersea neutrino telescope ANTARES.

Digital Earth Africa is helping to build a better future for Africa and NRENs are playing a critical role in making this happen.
