The MAX Network and Engineering teams work one-on-one with you in order to create unique, robust pathways allowing you to customize your needs, optimize connectivity, and continue to do what you do best.

A multiple protected “ring” architecture-designed backbone to allow network traffic to travel on one of two paths to achieve the highest levels of reliability.

Network services that span dedicated Layer 1 optical waves, Layer 2 vLAN and MPLS, as well as Layer 3 aggregated routed IP service. The MAX core operates at a speed of up to 800G, broadening your connection within the R&E backbone.

National and global collaboration with other researchers and educators via highly reliable, non-congested Internet services through an optical backbone infrastructure resulting in the lowest latency network services to other major research and education institutions.
