ENT - May 19, 1999

Designed to help customers leverage the power of high-speed networks, IBM announced a series of research initiatives under the banner Advanced Internet Projects. As part of these projects, IBM will develop technologies and applications that use bandwidth-rich networks. Some of the programs covered in this announcement include the International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR), European Advanced Internet Applications Center, advanced Internet research, advance Internet standards and advanced Internet policy.

With Northwestern University and other partners, IBM launched iCAIR, which taps advanced research projects to deploy interactive applications with enterprise customers. Some of the applications include global multiparty videoconferencing, virtual reality-enabled manufacturing and design, collaborative engineering and full-screen interactive distance learning.

Through this center, IBM supports the GigaPort project of the Dutch government to develop an advanced communication network.
