A campus LAN (Local Area Network) has been set which connects together approximately 850 computers spread over the NPL campus. The network utilises a mixture of optical fibre, UTP cables and switches. The internet access is provided through a gateway to the external world via a 2 Mbps radio link and 2 Mbps leased line to the ERNET at the department of Electronics. Email and Internet services are thus brought to the user’s desktops.
