New Research Connection to Pakistan
The US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Pakistan Higher Education Commission (HEC) are jointly funding a high performance research and education network connection to
support US-Pakistan science and technology collaborations. This project will connect the existing Pakistan Research and Education Network (PERN) and the developing PERN2
network to the global research and education network infrastructure. This connection will be implemented by a joint purchase of capacity on an undersea cable system connecting
PERN/PERN2 in Karachi to an international network connection point in Singapore.
