Science research and education activities between the U.S. and nations in South America have been evolving, benefiting from the shared investments between the U.S., Brazil and other nations in Latin America. Astronomy, High-Energy Physics, Comparative research in Biodiversity, Ecology and Genomics, Materials Science, Seismology, Future Internet Research, Ultra-High Definition (UHD) video and streaming research collectively represent a suite of collaborative science research communities, with resources and cyberinfrastructure geographically dispersed across the U.S. and the nations of Latin America with diverse network services requirements. As data production of science applications increases, so to is the demand for high-throughput production network services to transport data from where it is collected, processed, then archived.In response to the network requirements of these U.S.-Latin America collaborative science research communities, the AmLight Express and Protect (ExP) implements a hybrid network strategy that combines optical spectrum (Express) and leased capacity (Protect) that builds a reliable, leading-edge diverse network infrastructure for research and education. Researchers will be able to leverage the resources of AmLight ExP to foster network innovation and to address increasing network services requirements between the U.S. and the nations in South America.AmLight ExP is a reliable, leading-edge infrastructure for research and education. With significant investments from the Academic Network of São Paulo (ANSP), and Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa (RNP) and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), the total bandwidth provided by AmLight ExP between the U.S. and South America is expected to grow to more than 680 Gibabits per second in aggregate capacity between 2015 and 2020. This serves as a flexible inter-regional infrastructure, enabling communities of scientists to expand their research, education, and learning activities uniquely empowered through access to unlit optical spectrum on submarine cables, and through AmLight ExP's use of dynamic circuits in a production environment. AmLight ExP increases the rate of discovery in the U.S. and across the Western Hemisphere. Faster discovery means quicker focus on the greatest benefit for society. AmLight ExP acts as a catalyst for new communities of researchers and learners with a bridge linking Latin Americans of the Western Hemisphere, benefiting U.S Hispanic students, teachers and researchers. FIU is committed to serving the needs graduate and undergraduate education through models that bring together students and the networking community with scientists from all domains.

受益于美国、巴西和拉丁美洲其他国家之间的共同投资，美国与南美洲国家之间的科学研究和教育活动不断发展。材料科学、地震学、未来互联网研究、超高清 (UHD) 视频和流媒体研究共同代表了一系列协作科学研究社区，其资源和网络基础设施在地理上分散具有多样化网络服务需求的美国和拉丁美洲国家随着科学应用数据生产的增加，对从收集、处理和归档数据的地方传输数据的高吞吐量生产网络服务的需求也在增加。为了满足这些美国-拉丁美洲合作科学研究社区的网络需求，AmLight Express 和 Protect (ExP) 实施了混合网络策略，将光谱 (Express) 和租赁容量 (Protect) 相结合，构建了可靠、领先的多样化网络研究和教育的网络基础设施。研究人员将能够利用 AmLight ExP 的资源来促进网络创新并满足美国和南美洲国家之间日益增长的网络服务需求。AmLight ExP 是一个可靠的、领先的基础设施。在圣保罗学术网络 (ANSP)、Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa (RNP) 和天文学研究大学协会 (AURA) 的大力投资下， 2015 年至 2020 年间，AmLight ExP 在美国和南美洲之间提供的总带宽预计将增长到每秒 680 吉比特以上。这是一个灵活的区域间基础设施，使科学家群体能够扩展他们的研究，通过在海底电缆上获取未点亮的光谱以及通过 AmLight ExP 在生产环境中使用动态电路，可以独特地增强教育和学习活动的能力。美国和整个西半球的发现速度 更快的发现意味着更快地关注社会的最大利益。AmLight ExP 成为新的研究人员和学习者社区的催化剂，架起了连接西半球拉丁美洲的桥梁，使美国受益。佛罗里达国际大学致力于通过将学生和网络社区与各个领域的科学家聚集在一起的模式来满足研究生和本科生教育的需求。
