Nope. Not talking about your breakfast cereal.
The UO Libraries is now connected to Vyvx, a global fiber network providing broadcast-quality transmission. The UO is connected to Vyvx at Hayward Field, Autzen, Matt Knight and CMET. This fiber was laid at no cost to the UO. Specific to the UO Libraries, this allows us to send a broadcast quality signal to the world without going through microwave, satellite, duct tape and bailing wire.
This Friday’s live stream of His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be transmitted via Vyvx directly from Matt Knight Arena to New York where the video will be encoded and distributed throughout the world.
To see a really cool world map of the Vyvx fiber network, see attached or go to the interactive map at

Much thanks goes to Library Admin, Athletics, Strategic Communications, and Information Services for negotiating the contract. Special thanks to Tony Saxman (IS), Ward Biaggne (CMET) and Joe Harris (CMET) for making it happen here in Knight Library.
