==History== JARING was Malaysia's first and pioneer Internet access service provider. JARING was commercialised in 1992 after installing its first international satellite leased-circuit at 64kps, connecting [[Kuala Lumpur]] in Malaysia to [[Stockton, California|Stockton]] in the United States. The circuit had then enabled JARING network users to be linked directly with Internet, including the BITNET and NSFNet. In June 1997, JARING became the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in South East Asia to install the T3 (45 Mbit/s) line, which provided JARING users with faster access to the Internet. In 1999, JARING went a step further by introducing SuperJARING Internet backbone infrastructure with 2.5 Gigabits per second transmission speed, making it the fastest and longest (841 km) IP-over-fibre backbone service available in the world then. The SuperJARING infrastructure that runs across Peninsular Malaysia from Kuala Lumpur through [[Ipoh]], [[Penang]], [[Kulim]], [[Johor Bahru]], [[Malacca City|Melaka]] and back to Kuala Lumpur has the capability to provide next-generation, bandwidth-intensive services like video-on-demand, secure virtual private networks (Secure VPNs), Internet telephony, Internet TV, distance learning and telemedicine. As a pioneer in providing Internet access in Malaysia, JARING was committed in exploring new technologies and setting standards for others to follow in order to facilitate the creation of a knowledge-based society. Up until its closure, JARING had multiples of 622 Mbit/s links (STM4) to the global Internet, providing highly redundant circuits riding on the latest APCN-2, FLAG and PACNET submarine cable systems. JARING Communications Sdn. Bhd. was later established as a spin-off company under MIMOS Berhad on 1 April 2005 and by December 2006, the [[Ministry of Finance (Malaysia)|Ministry of Finance]], Malaysia, officially takes over JARING from MIMOS Berhad. In 2008, JARING is first again to implement Internet telephone interconnect with traditional telephone services allowing [[Celcom]] subscribers to directly dial to JARING MY015 telephone subscribers. The Interconnect was later expanded to other telecommunications providers such as [[Maxis Communications|Maxis]], [[Telekom Malaysia]], TIME, [[Packet One]] and [[DiGi Telecommunications|DiGi]]. In February 2009, JARING was awarded "The International Customer Service Standard (TICSS)" Certification by the British Standards Institution ([[BSI Group|BSI]]), United Kingdom. JARING is the first telecommunication company in Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific to receive this award. JARING had strategically committed its resources in embarking on an initiative to pursue the globally recognised certifications in Information Security Management System. On 20 July 2011, [[SIRIM|SIRIM QAS International]] formally awarded the ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications for JARING Internet Data Centre, Virtual Private Network and System Operations. On 1 January 2013, JARING becomes a private entity under Utusan Printcorp Sdn. Bhd. (UPSB) when the latter took over 100% of the withholding of the company from Ministry of Finance. Up until its closure, it had ventured into expanding Malaysia's Internet experience by becoming among the first to provide high performance computing over the cloud, big data analysis, integrated solution for Internet of Things (IoT) and sentiment analytic for data processing. JARING has finally closed and undergoes liquidation as of 23 April 2015.<ref name="star2015" />
