In the 1990s, the state of Missouri charted a course to provide funding for MOREnet to connect higher education institutions, public K-12 schools and public libraries to the Internet. Missouri was one of the first states in the country to fund a comprehensive, cost-effective, shared network for higher education institutions, K-12 schools and public libraries.
This shared network has proven to be an efficient and cost-effective approach to meeting the growing bandwidth demands of our members, and, combined with the centralized statewide services, creates significant cost savings not only for the consortium, but for Missouri taxpayers as well.
MOREnet was also one of the first networks in the country to support 100 gigabit optical paths. This infrastructure exists because we work proactively to anticipate the future needs of technology as we rely more and more on Internet-based tools and resources.
