The Research and Education (R&E) Network forms the backbone of NREN’s offerings, connecting educational institutions, research organizations, and hospitals across Nepal to global networks. NREN is connected to the Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN) and the Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN), which enables seamless connectivity between Nepalese institutions and international universities, research communities, and academic networks. Currently, NREN provides a 45 Mbps R&E connection, with plans for an upgrade to further enhance bandwidth and meet the growing demands of data transfer required by member institutions.
NREN’s infrastructure supports a variety of educational and research activities, including large-scale data sharing, global collaborations. Through this network, students and researchers can benefit from the rapid transfer of data, fostering innovation and progress in Nepal’s academic and research sectors.
These institutions benefit from the robust, high-speed connectivity provided by NREN, enabling them to participate in global research collaborations, access international resources, and foster innovation in Nepal. NREN continues to work towards expanding this network and providing more institutions across the country with access to these critical resources.
