Tohoku University's TAINS (Tohoku University Academic/All-round/Advanced Information Network System) has been in service since 1988 and was the first large-scale campus-wide network in Japan. In 1995, TAINS95 (SuperTAINS) based on ATM architecture (622 Mbps) was established. In 2002, TAINS/G with GbE technology and TDM/WDM (8-16 Gbps) started. Its successor since 2009 is StarTAINS which links the center to all major buildings in the widely-spread six campuses.
