| Oklahoma has joined the National Lambda Rail! NLR is an ultra high speed network, 100 times faster than the commodity Internet and 10 times faster than Internet2. Oklahoma's Lambda Rail system will provide connections between Norman, Oklahoma City, Stillwater and Tulsa, with the primary node in Tulsa. Oklahoma is one of only two states in the southern Great Plains, along with Missouri, to get a Lambda Rail connection, and one of only 5 EPSCoR states, among 26 EPSCoR states and territories. |
