Catalyst Campus for Technology and Innovation's new fiber network went online this week, making it the first open-access 100-gig network in the state. The fiber infrastructure, built by Underline, is one of three networks being built in Colorado Springs. For Catalyst Campus, the installation of Underline fiber optic technology is crucial for cybersecurity and innovation, Kevin O'Neil, founder of Catalyst Campus, said.
"It changes the way we build code, it changes the way we build satellites, it changes the latency in information that we need for the warfighter," O'Neil said at a press conference announcing the use of the fiber network. "So for today it is a very wonderful day."
