• Already using Abliene to access Internet2 sites
• May add videoconferencing• Codec• Firewall permissions• Find a partner or a project• InforMNs.k12.mn.us
41
Accessibility Issues
• Quality will depend on slowest access connectivity (State Net, WAN, LAN)
• Wide variety of videoconferencing solutions (individual web cams to large scale units)
• Videoconferencing and firewalls require some set-up
• Connectivity to Internet2 depends on state network infrastructure
