Viettel, a leading Telco in Vietnam set up the dedicated
physical link between VinaREN and CamREN.
This new link connects the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC)
in Phnom Penh and has the potential to connect Cambodia's 35,000
researchers with scientists around the world.
This move will improve the quality and quantity of research conducted
in Cambodia's higher education institutes and research centres.
The development of Cambodia's national research and education network,
CamREN, will be boosted by its link to TEIN3, as it works to strengthen
national and international research collaboration.
To achieve the physical connection CamREN worked closely with VinaREN,
the national research and education network organisation of neighbouring
Vietnam.
VinaREN arranged a dedicated link from its network in Hanoi to
the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) and provided
access to its existing TEIN3 connection.
Dr Sackona Phoeurng of CamREN said,
"Our connection to TEIN3 comes at a critical time in our country's research
development. The fields of study that can now be developed thanks to this
link include e-learning, telemedicine, earth and atmospheric sciences,
emerging diseases, crop research and information and communication
technology. Science and Technology in these sectors are still needs
to more developed. We are very excited at finally being able to connect
with the global research and education community."
