RiAus utilises SABRENet optical fibre connections to link its heritage-listed Science Exchange premises to AARNet, demonstrating that SABRENet can offer an effective solution for all technology-intensive organizations.

The mission of RiAus is to bring science to people and people to science. SABRENet  helps to make the connection.
