CANARIE - Canarie Legacy Programs

CANARIE's programs advance research, education, and innovation in Canada. The following programs were active in our previous (2007-2102) mandate and will be supported and reviewed during our current mandate.

• Lightpaths Program
  A lightpath is a dedicated high bandwidth communication channel, or virtual circuit, or the concatenation of several sections of these to form an end-to-end Lightpath, providing high bandwidth over great geographical distances, where available.
• Legacy Infrastructure Extension Program (IEP)
  The IEP connected many research and education facilities to the CANARIE network to enhance and accelerate research, enable national and international collaboration, improve access to knowledge, and contribute to the development of digital infrastructure and research in Canada. During the current mandate, CANARIE will continue to review the use of these connections for optimum cost-effectiveness.
