Science and Education at High Speed

IP is the data communication service that connects educational and scientific entities to the global Internet, which includes knowledge networks such as the European academic network, GÉANT, or the Spanish one, RedIRIS.

Connection to the GÉANT network also guarantees access to academic networks on other continents, including RedClara (Latin America), TEIN (Asia and the Pacific), Internet2 (North America) and the UbuntuNET Alliance (East and Southern Africa).

Who is it intended for?

Net.Mede

netmede anacom fccn

Until January 2020, FCCN offered the SpeedMeter service, which helped thousands of users check the speeds and status of their internet connections every month.

With the development of Net.Mede by Anacom, and faced with a more advanced and equally independent solution, we decided to recommend the NET.mede.

IPv6

ipv6 fccn

IPv6 technology, also known as the next-generation Internet, is one of the areas in which FCCN has had significant activity for several years.

In this sense, FCCN has been developing the Science, Technology and Society Network, RCTS, to support all Internet services to operate in both technologies – IPv4 and IPv6, having been one of the first to do so with international connectivity through the European GÉANT network.

At GigaPIX, RCTS also makes IPv6 available to all operators who wish to peer with this technology.
