OSHEAN
Providence College connects to the Internet through a consortium of area schools called OSHEAN (The Ocean State Higher Education / Economic Development and Administrative Network). The advantages of this membership are three-fold:
- OSHEAN members share the cost of Internet I (public) connectivity
- Internet 2 connectivity is shared amongst member institutions. (Internet 2 is an advanced network of applications and technologies for research and higher education.)
- The college shares technical expertise and security monitoring with member institutions
