AT&T Labs
The UH ATT Technology Lab (also known as the UH ATT Lab) was the result of more than two years of collaboration between the University of Houston and Southwestern Bell Communications, Inc (now ATT) in the areas of telecommunications, networks, and education. The purpose of the Lab is to serve as a hub for the international educational and research community and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. To achieve its goals, the Lab has been equipped with state-of-the-art networking and communications equipment which include a campus-wide three-node SONET/MPLS and gigaethernet testbed that connects to four other UH research labs, wireless internet, and high-definition videoconferencing and videostreaming.

Remote Optical Research Knowledge
The ROCK project is an NSF funded project that aims to create remotely-controlled optical circuits laboratory experiments. It is expected to help introduce a hands-on laboratory for distance education. A group of faculty from three universities is joining effort to develop this challenging research project (Dr. Driss Benhaddou (University of Houston - UH), Dr. Deniz Gurkan (UH), Dr. Alan Mickelson (Colorado University Boulder - CU), Dr. Frank Barnes (CU), Dr. Zhonqi Pan (University of Louisiana Lafayette). Recently Dr. Phyllis R. Nelson, Dr. Ertan Salik, R. Frank Smith from CalPoly Pomona have joined the efforts to this project.
