Information Technology and Communications (IT&C) is indisputably the new foundation for transformational science programs, logistics, risk management, and cost reduction, especially in Polar Regions.
TransPolar offers real-time access to archival and large modeling data systems, now commonplace at universities and research facilities, and increasingly used in high latitudes. TransPolar will offer new connective partnerships to support broadband and wireless systems.
TransPolar has an exclusive agreement with the National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) in Ballston, VA. NCSA has engaged the Internet2 and National Lambda-Rail cyber infrastructure to provide its customers an innovative network communication system with new collaboration to the tightly integrated planet-wide grid of computing, information networking, and sensor resources. TransPolar’s partnership with NCSA will provide powerful new methods of presenting visual data for internal or external presentations and a system to calculate and then visualize complex out-year planning and theoretical scenarios.
The availability of these new technologies will drive the progress of science investigations and the modernization of existing science programs. TransPolar will build new connectivity to the IT&C issues that matter today, as well as the IT&C concepts that will matter tomorrow.
