Front Range GigaPop
The Front Range GigaPop (FRGP) is a consortium of Universities, non-profit corporations, and government agencies in Colorado that cooperate in an aggregation point called the FRGP in order to share Wide Area Networking (WAN) services, access to the commodity Internet, access to the Internet2 network,(I2) research network, and access to the National LambdaRail (NLR).
The FRGP is one of several gigapops in the US. Gigapop members typically enjoy reduced costs, shared expertise, shared services, increased buying power, and economies of scale.
NCAR/UCAR provides the engineering and Network Operations Center support for the FRGP.
