Welcome to the LRREN! The LRREN is a specialized Internet Service Provider (ISP) that interconnects research and educational institutions within Liberia and externally to similar networks across the global Internet. The LRREN is expected to connect to other regional and international RENs to boost research and education in the nation; an endeavor that ultimately enhances our national economic development initiatives. LRREN is considered a strategic asset of economic and social value to Liberia because it plays a major role in closing the digital divide between academic and research institutions.  It is intended to fulfill the data communications, networking, application, and e-services needs of Liberia’s research and education community. It distinguishes itself by providing very high-speed network both at the core and access levels with the possibility of offering dedicated channels for individual research projects. LRREN is also expected to be an incubator of creativity and a source of innovation of both scientific and technological ideas that will spill over to the societies in the region. LRREN’s scope will extend to hospitals, schools (primary and secondary), telecom service providers, and the Liberia Internet Exchange Points (LIXP), even though its membership primarily consists of universities and research institutions.
