WESTNET is one of approximately 20 mid-level networks which connect to the NSFNET backbone. Through the mid-levels, the NSFNET links over a thousand university and college campuses, business and industrial research laboratories, and governmental research centers across the nation and around the world. Using NSFNET, educators and researchers access library resources, supercomputing centers, satellite data, medical imaging, scientific instruments, video applications, national data bases, and colleagues worldwide. The states covered by WESTNET are Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, and the lower part of Idaho. This award funds upgrading the speed of the WESTNET communication line into each state from 56,000 bits per second to 1.544 million bits per second. It also provides for circuit and hardware redundancy to minimize any downtime, and increased hours and services for the Network Operations Center.***

Westnet是连接到NSFNET主链的20个中层网络之一。 通过中层，NSFNET链接了一千个大学和大学校园，商业和工业研究实验室以及全国和世界各地的政府研究中心。 使用NSFNET，教育者和研究人员访问图书馆资源，超级计算中心，卫星数据，医学成像，科学仪器，视频应用，国家数据基础和全球同事。 韦斯特内特所涵盖的州包括亚利桑那州，科罗拉多州，新墨西哥州，犹他州和怀俄明州，以及爱达荷州的下部。 该奖项资金将Westnet通讯线的速度升级到每个州的速度从每秒56,000位增加到每秒154.4万位。 它还提供了电路和硬件冗余，以最大程度地减少任何停机时间，并增加了网络操作中心的时间和服务。***
