About this network

National Knowledge Network (NKN) is India's government-run research and education network, providing a high-speed backbone that connects universities, research institutes, and public institutions. It is managed by the National Informatics Centre.

What it's used for

• Backbone connectivity for Indian academic, research, and government institutions, not a consumer mobile carrier.

Notable

• This is a national research and education network (NREN), not a commercial eyeball ISP; its addresses front institutions rather than mobile handsets.
• Peers with global research networks such as GEANT, Internet2, and other NRENs.

Interesting

• NKN links well over a thousand institutions across India on a multi-gigabit core, serving research and education rather than the general public.
