Ciena Janet Chooses Ciena to Form Backbone of UK's New Research JANET CHOOSES CIENA TO FORM BACKBONE OF UK’S NEW RESEARCH AND EDUCATION NETWORK What Our Customers National Research and Education Network Are Saying (NREN) Janet connects the UK’s research “As well as providing super-high-speed connectivity and education communities. With traffic for universities, colleges and schools and supporting the on its network doubling every 18 months, latest learning applications, our new Ciena infrastructure the organization decided to build a new, will comfortably meet the needs of researchers engaged UK-wide fiber optic network infrastructure in data-intensive work.” called Janet6. Jeremy Sharp Head of Strategic Technologies Janet Janet6 will be based on Ciena’s next-generation 6500 family of packet-optical transmission equipment. This will provide 100G connectivity and the ability to provision new wavelengths for customers on demand between any two points on the network. The Ciena infrastructure will help Janet meet the spiraling bandwidth needs of the UK research and education community for the next ten years. Working in close partnership with Ciena, Janet is building a clear roadmap to 200G, 400G, and terabyte networking in the future, ensuring that the UK remains a world leader in both scientific research and networking innovation. Challenges To provide the best educational experience, schools and universities across the UK are harnessing next-generation technologies such as interactive whiteboards and video conferencing, and providing high-speed broadband access for staff and students. At the same time, researchers in data-intensive fields such as particle physics, radio astronomy, and bio-informatics need access to super-computing resources and high-speed networks to collect, store, and share data globally and push the boundaries of current scientific understanding.

  • Big Ideas: the Future of Engineering in Schools
    BIG IDEAS: THE FUTURE OF ENGINEERING IN SCHOOLS. With support from Improving the world through engineering WE NEED TO PROMOTE ENGINEERING AS A PEOPLE-FOCUSED, PROBLEM- SOLVING, SOCIALLY BENEFICIAL DISCIPLINE. PETER FINEGOLD, INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Leading the Change The UK has had a shortage of engineers for a very long time, and the issue is growing. Launched in 2015, Leading the Change is campaigning to broaden our approach on how we promote and teach engineering to all young people, not just those already passionate about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. It is our belief that by working together to get children immersed in STEM subjects from an early age, we can lay the foundations for a lifelong passion for engineering, particularly with those who otherwise would not have considered pursuing this career path. The campaign also details how the Institution is already working to enthuse young people in a number of different ways, from national and regional STEM events, scholarships and awards, industrial placements for teachers, to one-on-one support. To find out more about our campaign, visit imeche.org/leading-the-change This report has been produced in the context of the Institution’s strategic themes of Energy, Environment, Education, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Transport, and its vision of ‘Improving the world through engineering’.
