High Speed Networking with Subaru Telescope in Hawaii

The Subaru Telescope in Hawaii is connected via a high-speed link to the INET2000 / iGrid 2000 conference site in Yokohama, and high-definition astronomical images are quickly retrieved and downloaded. Real-time interactive classes and discussions with researchers also take place between Hawaii and Yokohama using high-quality multimedia communication tools.
