Definition: UCLANET stands for Universal Central LAN Network, a network connecting universities worldwide. This network was created to improve connectivity among students at various universities around the world by providing shared access points and hardware resources. It's a way for schools to share technology infrastructure more efficiently and reduce costs associated with building their own networks.
Definition: UCLANET2, which stands for "universal cloud connectivity," was a network project sponsored by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program to improve global communication networks in developing countries. The UCLANET2 network aimed at enhancing internet connectivity through an international standardization process. The goal of this project was to standardize and simplify the technical requirements for building and maintaining internet connections across the globe, which would allow greater efficiency and affordability in telecommunications services across diverse regions. UCLANET2 was designed with a "cloud-first" approach, meaning that all communications data is hosted on cloud networks rather than local networks. This means that internet access is provided by the public internet service providers (ISPs) or other global network infrastructure providers, which can be accessed anywhere in the world. By standardizing global communication networks, UCLANET2 efforts aimed to reduce costs and improve efficiency for international businesses and governments by providing faster and more reliable connectivity. This project was part of a wider initiative from the European Union called "Clouds for Development," aimed at accelerating digital progress in developing countries. The term "UCLANET2" has been replaced with "Cloud 4 All" in recent years as part of EU policy to address global digital inclusion and connectivity issues.
