Centre for Networking Technologies for the Information Economy

Overview
The Centre for Networking Technologies for the Information Economy (CeNTIE) is one of three advanced network projects funded by the Australian Government's Advanced Networks Program. The CSIRO ICT Centre is the lead organisation in CeNTIE, hosting the project and providing matching funding.

CeNTIE has built a high-performance network for research which is part of a national backbone. Working closely with industry, CeNTIE develops showcase business systems in five key areas of the Information Economy (e-Health, Media, Enterprise, Regional Australia and First Mile Forum in conjunction with ATUG). These are used as the catalyst for R&D in advanced networks which is developed using the CeNTIE Foundation Network.
