About this network

CHECS is the New Mexico higher-education computing and communications consortium, a non-profit whose members are the IT organisations of the state's colleges and universities. It is registered in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

What it's used for

• Shared networking and collaborative technology planning across New Mexico's higher-education institutions, including the state's universities and their branch campuses.

Notable

• A consortium ASN rather than a single campus: the address space serves member institutions collectively, which is a common pattern for state-level research and education networks.
• Registered with ARIN in 1996, during the period when regional and state academic networks were building out their own routing.
