Net.Measure

netmede anacom fccn

Until January 2020, FCCN offered the SpeedMeter service, which every month helped thousands of users validate the speeds and status of their internet connections.

With the development of Net.Mede by Anacom, and facing a more advanced and equally independent solution, we decided to recommend NET.mede.

IPv6

ipv6 fccn

IPv6 technology, also known as next-generation Internet, is one of the areas in which FCCN has been significantly active for several years.

To this end, FCCN has evolved the Science, Technology and Society Network (RCTS) to support all Internet services that work with both IPv4 and IPv6 technologies, and was one of the first to do so with international connectivity through the European GÉANT network.

At GigaPIX, RCTS also makes IPv6 available to all operators who wish to peering with this technology.
