FaTMAN Fife and Tayside Metropolitan Area Network

A High Speed ATM Network to support Teaching and Research Activities in Fife and Tayside

Map of the Network (1994)

The links shown are very long for directly driven fibre optic connections and use special purpose drivers to cover these distances:

University of Dundee to University of Abertay Dundee: 1.5km
University of Dundee to University of St Andrews: 23km
University of St Andrews to University of Abertay Dundee: 23.3km

Total length: 47.8km

All links use ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) to provide a modern multi-service network which can carry data, video and voice. In addition there is one FDDI link to ensure operation of a vital data connection.
