Summary
University of the West Indies (JAMNET)
education research legacy
JAMNET is registered to the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, in
Kingston, Jamaica — the university's network and, historically, a foothold for
internet connectivity in Jamaica.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for UWI Mona: teaching, research, libraries, and administration.
- Academic connectivity for the university community in Jamaica.
Notable
- Institutional, education address space rather than consumer broadband — the hosts behind it are campus systems and university users.
- The name
JAMNETand the very low AS number both date from the period when universities were the organisations bringing whole countries onto the internet.
Interesting
- Across the Caribbean and much of the developing world, the first internet connections were made through universities. A university ASN like this one is often the oldest piece of a country's routed-internet history.
