For more than 25 years, 3ROX has been providing the K12 community with stable, robust and cost-effective connections to research and education networks.  Because we pool the networking requirements of many groups, we can supply network access that is more stable and less expensive than individual organizations can obtain on their own.

3ROX offers many other services in addition to network connectivity, including performance tuning and network monitoring.  See the network services page for everything that 3ROX can deliver to your organization.

By leveraging existing activities there are no additional 3ROX fees associated with these services.  3ROX engineers are available to facilitate technical connectivity to the programs as well as provide a liaison with the program coordinators.
