Internet2 Wave of the Future Award
The CSIRO Australia Telescope National Facility received the Internet2 Wave of the Future Award for its recognized leadership in the development and use of the electronic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (e-VLBI) technique. E-VLBI is considered one of the most powerful methods for high-resolution imaging of distant radio sources, such as pulsars, quasars and radio galaxies. The technique links geographically dispersed telescopes using advanced optical networks for near real time analysis of telescope data. CSIRO uses Pacific Wave supported facilties to connect from Australia to the JIVE correlator in the Netherlands.
