The Network for Education and Research in Oregon (NERO), the Oregon
GigaPOP (OGIG) and its partners in Oregon are partnering with SCinet,
the network built each year to support exhibitors and attendees of the
SC conference, to provide Wide Area Networking (WAN) services support
for SC09 to be held in Portland, Oregon, November 14th through 20th,

conference participants, SCinet is requesting exhibitors and network
entities to identify their WAN circuit requirements into the Oregon
Convention Center by May 29, 2009.

Center. The following WAN services are planned to be available: ESnet’s
IP Network and Science Data Network, Internet2's IP Network and Dynamic
Circuit Network, NLR’s PacketNet and FrameNet as well as commodity Internet.
