Southern Crossroads

Welcome to Southern Crossroads, SoX is a cooperative initiative. Initial support for development of the Sox internetworking aggregation facility was provided by a National Science Foundation Grant.

We are designed to facilitate access to current and future highly integrated, digital communications services for education, research, and economic development within the Southeast region and across the United States.

In the future, SoX will enable a highly functional, reliable communications system with the ability to integrate high performance voice, data, and video services in a competitive multi-vendor environment at reasonable cost and with a quality of service standard.

Our mission is to connect both SoX Participants to Next Generation Internet services, as well as commodity services where appropriate, thus enhancing opportunities for collaboration among university researchers at institutions throughout the Southeast in a very cost effective manner.
