I-Light is the high-speed, fiber optic network that connects all but one Indiana public university and private college. The network connects members to state, national, and international research and education communities, enabling collaboration and discovery to benefit us all.

Lighting the way for the Hoosier state

I-Light is made possible by a unique collaboration among Indiana colleges and universities, state government, and private sector broadband providers.

The Indiana GigaPOP gives I-Light members access to national and international research and education networks, enabling research with partners around the world.

Membership has its benefits. I-Light enables a variety of capabilities such as the secure exchange of large data files, access to supercomputers and scientific data storage facilities, multi-campus collaborative research projects, and much more.
