About this network

JAMNET is registered to the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, in Kingston, Jamaica — the university's network and, historically, a foothold for internet connectivity in Jamaica.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for UWI Mona: teaching, research, libraries, and administration.
• Academic connectivity for the university community in Jamaica.

Notable

• Institutional, education address space rather than consumer broadband — the hosts behind it are campus systems and university users.
• The name JAMNET and the very low AS number both date from the period when universities were the organisations bringing whole countries onto the internet.

Interesting

• Across the Caribbean and much of the developing world, the first internet connections were made through universities. A university ASN like this one is often the oldest piece of a country's routed-internet history.
