Faster access speeds for users and the ability to collaborate on large European research projects are the expected benefits of a major upgrade to Malta's connection to the pan-European Géant network.

Géant is the high speed European communication network dedicated to research and education. In combination with its National Research and Education Network (NREN) partners, Géant creates a secure, high speed research infrastructure that serves 40 million researchers in over 8,000 institutions across 40 European countries.

The University of Malta has long been a partner of the Géant project. However, until recently, its connection to the network was an 80 Mb/s link, meaning researchers struggled to move or receive large amounts of data from collaborators in institutions across Europe, restricting their involvement in high profile research projects.
