Abstract

In the August of 1996 in the High Energy Physics Institute(HEPI) of
Tbilisi State University the Satellite Communication and Computer
Network Center (SCCN) was established. The SCCN center operates the
the satellite station with appropriate equipment and provides INTERNET
access to the Georgian HEP community.

The center was funded with the help of the INTAS and NATO
grants received for the project which considers the establishment of
two Information Centers for Georgian Scientific Community and High
Education System. Project was accomplished by DESY
(Hamburg,Germany), Satellite Communication Engineering
Center(Moscow, Russia) and Radio-MSU(Nuclear Physics Institute,
Moscow State University,Moscow, Russia).

In the near future about 50 institutes of the Academy of Sciences
of Georgia will be integrated in INTERNET. In the paper the current
status of the SCCN and future plans are considered.
