The Silesian University of Technology is the first university in the region to launch a connection to the Silesian Academic Computer Network (ŚASK) using 100 Gbps Ethernet technology.

This change increases the connection speed to both the national PIONIER network (Polish Optical Internet - https://pionier.net.pl/) , the pan-European computer network of the scientific community GÉANT ( https://geant.org/ ), and to the Internet. Additionally, increasing the speed of connections to ŚASK allows for more complete integration of the internal computer network of the Silesian University of Technology campuses in Katowice, Gliwice, Zabrze and Rybnik.

Increasing the network's capabilities also means greater access to scientific resources and opportunities to implement projects in cooperation with other universities, including those abroad.

Additionally, thanks to its modern infrastructure, the Silesian University of Technology is becoming more and more attractive to students and scientists from all over the world. The installation and configuration of the devices was performed by employees of the Computer Centre of the Silesian University of Technology.
