Stable, high-performance digital infrastructure with guaranteed bandwidths for the entire world and a focus on quality and services must also be an option in Greenland. There are a number of research jobs in Greenland, and the value of their work can be multiplied if they e.g. can get access to have large amounts of data transferred in line with researchers in the rest of the world. In addition, there are many research projects that rely on various types of sensors and equipment located in the vast country. They can now get dedicated network connections. Today, both researchers and institutions in Greenland are referred to network connections, which have the same problems as commercial networks everywhere else in the world in relation to research traffic, namely that there can be problems in relation to having the same quality guarantees all the way to the other end of the the world that one has in relation to one's local connection. It is especially heavier data traffic, where it is difficult to transfer large amounts of data internationally with the commercial networks due to their setup. Therefore, DeiC's board has decided to establish a collaboration with Greenland to establish a Research Network in Greenland. A Research Network in Greenland will mean a direct connection that guarantees bandwidth all the way to the other end - all over the world. This offer has not previously existed in Greenland, as one of quite a few countries in the world. At the same time, a research network in Greenland will also mean access to all the services that are part of the Research Network, e.g. eduroam, WAYF, DKCERT services.
