CSCAMM is part of the Access Grid, a network of more than 150 domestic and
international sites using high-speed Internet connections to enable truly
interactive meetings among participants. The access grid node delivers high performance synchronized
audio, data, and video to and from multiple locations over IP networks. This allows geographically
dispersed groups of people to participate in meetings, and collaborative work sessions.
