ORGANISATION

Estonian Educational and Research Network (EENet)

The Estonian Educational and Research Network (EENet) is a governmental nonprofit organization established in August 1993 by the Ministry of Education with the task of managing, coordinating and developing the computer network of science, education and culture.

In 1993 the whole network consisted of less than two hundred computers in Tartu and Tallinn. Now there are about six thousand hosts in our network and it extends to every county in Estonia. EENet's main task is to offer Internet connection (permanent links and dial-ins) as well as all additional services (ftp, news, DNS etc). There are also several areas of growing importance e.g. security problems and networking policy. In addition EENet manages Estonian top level domain (.ee).

Development projects are being carried out in cooperation with universities and institutes. EENet has acquired experience in most of the advanced technologies, for example ATM, fiber-optics, radio-links etc.
