CENIC history
CENIC company history timeline
The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) was created in 1997.
CENIC’s California Research and Education Network (CalREN) first became operational in 1998, providing connections to Internet2 for the University of California campuses, Stanford, Caltech, USC, and CSU campuses.
In 2002, the CENIC board of directors decided to obtain fiber leases for the major north-south portion of the CalREN network, putting in place an architecture that continues to the present day.
In 2005, the California Community Colleges joined CENIC separately from CSU, with membership equal to that of the University of California, CSU, and the K-12 system.
In 2013, Governor Brown and the California State Legislature funded an initiative to help California’s nearly 1,200 public libraries receive high-speed broadband service.
For a detailed recap of CENIC’s genesis, watch an eight-minute video (https://youtu.be/AH5chxLb-VQ) that was prepared for CENIC’s 20th anniversary in 2017 and features some of the founders as well as some current researchers using CalREN.
