High Performance Wireless Research and Education Networkhttp://hpwren.ucsd.edu

Interdisciplinary and multi-institutional collaborative cyberinfrastructure environment for research education, and public safety activities.

Enabled by a National Science Foundation funded high-speed wireless network, which stretches across a vast and diverse geographic region.

Allows for real-time data transfers with many hard-to-reach locations.

Traffic examples include high-volume bulk data (e.g., astronomy)and the aggregation of continuous traffic generated at many sensors throughout the coverage region (e.g., seismic, weather, cameras).
