Edge Forms Partnership with NOAA N-Wave
NEWARK, NJ, January 12, 2024–Edge (NJEdge.net, Inc.) is pleased to partner with NOAA N-Wave to enable the organization as it expands and updates its vast range of services. N-Wave is the advanced, high-speed, and highly scalable network service provider operating from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While it’s known as “NOAA’s Network,” N-Wave has expanded to serve multiple agencies in the U.S. federal government.
N-Wave recently joined forces with Edge to identify ways to elevate the network experience and expand their reach within the stakeholder community. To continue to effectively find networking solutions that benefit their stakeholder partners, leveraging the Science, Research, and Education (SR&E) community has been instrumental in advancing their overall mission and has been the foundation of what they do. N-Wave has several partners within the SR&E community, including Edge, Internet2, and the Global Network Operations Center (GlobalNOC) at Indiana University.
“Edge is excited to partner with NOAA N-Wave as it expands into the future in supporting the mission of important stakeholders such as NOAA to advance science. We welcome the N-Wave team to the Edge community. It has been a pleasure to participate in N-Wave convenings and gain access to its collaborative community.”

Bruce Tyrrell, AVP, Programs and Services, Edge further elaborates, “Edge worked diligently with N-Wave, NOAA and Internet2 to design and deliver highly available, 100Gb connectivity to their Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton, NJ. Subsequently, Edge partnered with NOAA and Princeton University to identify optimal local fiber infrastructure to connect the GFDL to Edge’s existing DWDM nodes at the University. Continued Tyrrell, “Our existing optical network enabled quick provisioning of geographically-diverse connections via our New Jersey Internet2 Gigapop platform, providing service via New York City and Philadelphia.”
“N-Wave is proud to partner with Edge and its full array of networking and technical services to strengthen and expand the high quality customer offerings we provide in support of our federal agency customers and their important missions,” said Robert Sears, N-Wave Director. “The key to N-Wave’s success is its collaboration with partners, such as Edge, who provide reliable resources and the expert knowledge necessary to keep up with emerging technologies essential to maintaining a secure network and enabling future growth opportunities.”
