 The CalREN Optical Backbone CalREN is a three-tiered network consisting of a statewide optical backbone to which schools and other institutions in California connect at Gigabit speeds via leased circuits obtained from telecom carriers or fiber-optic cable. These tiers include: - CalREN-DC (Digital California): This tier includes services for all K-20 California research and education users.
- CalREN-HPR (High-Performance Research): This tier includes leading-edge services for large application users.
- CalREN-XD (Experimental and Developmental): This tier includes bleeding-edge services for network researchers.
All three network tiers operate independently.
CENIC also engages in networking peering relationships, in particular Pacific Wave (a joint project between CENIC and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop, the University of Southern California, and the University of Washington), which provides peering facilities along the Pacific coast of the United States.
