Services

KanREN's next-generation network is one of the most feature-rich available. We are obsessed with "The Advanced". KanREN's focus is to be experts in deployed, advanced services before our members even know they are needed.

Mission and Values

Kansas Research and Education Network (KanREN, Inc.) is a non-profit consortium of colleges, universities, school districts and other organizations in Kansas, organized for the purpose of facilitating communication among them, and providing themselves with connectivity to the Internet via a statewide network.

KanREN Support

KanREN prides itself on providing world class support. KanREN is a membership consortium, and our staff has intimate knowledge of our members' needs and technological concerns; in fact many of our staff members have experience working in research and education institutions. Members know that they can count on KanREN to their best interests first.
