3DIcon Corp Hails Extension Of LambdaRail To Tulsa
3DIcon Corp, a communications development company, hailed the extension to
Tulsa, Okla., of the ultra-fast National LambdaRail network.
"This is wonderful news for the University of Oklahoma (OU) and our combined
effort to develop digital holographic technology," said a spokesperson for
3DIcon. "Tulsa is now on a par with the best research and development
communities from New York to California. And, as far as we know, we're the
only place in the world focused on the development and commercialization of
portable digital holographic technology."
The National LambdaRail Consortium (NLR) announced that Tulsa will be one of
the six new members of its ultra-fast fiber network. According to the Oklahoma
State Regents for Higher Education, NLR is a major initiative of U.S. research
universities and private-sector technology companies to provide a
national-scale infrastructure for research and experimentation in networking
technologies and applications. NLR aims to enable research to be done in ways
that are currently not possible. Further, it will reenergize innovative
network research that goes beyond Internet technologies and will enable all
layers of network research and development, application-level experiments and
production traffic to coexist on the same infrastructure. This initiative will
move Oklahoma to the forefront of high-end research.
Robert Richardson, professor of physics and Cornell University's vice provost
for research, concluded, "This makes possible research that people haven't
even thought of yet."
"I met with OU's Dr. James Sluss immediately after NLR's announcement," said
3DIcon's CEO Martin Keating. "He had one of those ear-to-ear smiles."
