The Energy Department says it’s linked up three of its national laboratories with a network that can move data at up to ten times the speed commercial IT providers can offer. DOE paid for the Advanced Networking Initiative with $62 million worth of money from the Recovery Act.

DOE says it thinks the network could also drive the creation of similar technologies for commercial use.
