IDEA Award Winners 2008

IDEA award winners represent applied advanced networking at its best. The winning submissions for 2008 were chosen from many distinguished nominations. Award submissions were judged on the depth of their positive impact on their primary users, the technical merit of the application, and the likelihood the application would be broadly adopted by its full natural community of potential users.

The Internet2 IDEA “Wave of the Future” Award was presented for the first time. The "Wave of the Future" recognizes innovators who are developing and deploying advanced applications that specifically require or make use of a dedicated optical circuit with capacities up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps).
