10 Gb/sec Internet connection

The DHBW Karlsruhe has a fibre-optic connection directly via KIT in the 100 Gb/s backbone of the BelWü with high-performance peerings to the Internet at its disposal. The expansion of our capacities to 10 Gb/sec could be concluded in 2017 and provides an exceptionally good basic infrastructure, also in the field for Universities of Applied Sciences, for the fulfilment of teaching, lecturing and research tasks.

The reliable provision of this bandwidth alone requires an enormous financial expenditure. The infrastructure is operated and Supported by the laboratories of the Computer Science programme and its members of staff.
