What is ARE-ON?
ARE-ON (Arkansas Research and Education Optical Network) is an economic development initiative represented by a high speed fiber-based optical network wholly owned and operated by the Arkansas higher education community. The best way to describe ARE-ON is to clearly define what ARE- ON is and what ARE-ON is not. ARE-ON is a collaborative environment that empowers each institution to leverage the unique and agile capabilities of high performance networking and computing for RESEARCH, EDUCATION, TELEMEDICINE, and EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
