A Little History…. • The initiative to link some of the ASEAN Countries was started by Dr. Kanchana from AIT as part of an larger e-learning initiative and also to provide a landing point for the TEIN II link. • A committee was created to develop the connectivity document for the region to support the TEIN II proposal, and included participation of most of the ASEAN countries. • In parallel, a informal meeting was held between Malaysia, Thailand & Singapore in Tokyo in July, 2002, which then mooted the idea of creating an independent ASEAN research backbone, starting with Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
A Little History…. • Out of this informal meeting came the general agreement that Thailand will try to provide linking as the hub for the Northern ASEAN countries (Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) while Malaysia will try to provide linking as the hub for the Southern ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Philippines & Brunei). • The 3 “Backbone” countries (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore) will then provide a common shared Backbone for all ASEAN countries to connect. • The backbone will also provide connectivity to International Links. The aim is to share such International Links rather than each country to have its own individual connections.
Phase SEA-A The First Phase • Terrestrial links connecting Thailand and Singapore to MyREN. • Implementation details to be worked out. • Connectivity could be by Star Orientation of by Rail-Road Style, or even a combination of both.
