Oklahoma has joined the
National Lambda Rail!
NLR is an ultra high speed network,
100 times faster than the commodity Internet
and 10 times faster than Internet2.
Oklahoma's Lambda Rail system
will provide connections between
Norman, Oklahoma City, Stillwater and Tulsa,
with the primary node in Tulsa.
Oklahoma is one of only two states in the southern Great Plains,
along with Missouri, to get a Lambda Rail connection,
and one of only 5
EPSCoR
states,
among 26 EPSCoR states and territories.
