Thousands of students, faculty and staff use the SURF network every day to do their jobs and stay connected. And they are - justifiably - becoming increasingly demanding. That is why we are constantly innovating to make the network faster, safer and more reliable.

International connectivity

The SURF network also ensures that institutions are well connected internationally. We cooperate with research and education networks all over the world. Together, we form a network unparalleled in size, speed and reliability.

International hub

SURF's network is connected to the AMS-IX, the Netherlands' largest Internet hub, where all major connections to the United States, among others, come in.

GÉANT: international collaboration
