MYREN currently connects fourteen universities and research institutions throughout Malaysia, via a nationwide IP backbone at 45Mbps capacity.  The backbone covers eight states in the West and East of Malaysia.  With more bandwidth intensive applications and greater user demand, it is envisaged that MYREN will evolve from the current 45Mbps backbone to a larger scale network in the following phase.   MYREN backbone is versatile to support all types of traffic.  Our researchers are running and operating various applications such as video conferencing, digital video transport system (DVTS), data computing, visualization/image modeling and e-learning.   Therfore, it is important for MYREN to continue to deliver the quality performance required by the research communities.

Members are connected to MYREN via their respective access link, which can either be a fibre link or microwave link. The access connection varies according to the user’s requirements. MYREN connectivity is centralized at MYREN Network Operation Centre located in Cyberjaya.
