  1. AMPATH: Network of the Americas Grid Workshop February 7-8 Rio de Janeiro,Brazil Heidi L. Alvarez heidi@fiu.edu

  2. What is AMPATH? • AMPATH is a project led by FIU, in collaboration with Global Crossing (GC), to interconnect the R&E networks in South and Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico to US and non-US R&E networks via Internet2's Abilene network

  3. What is AMPATH? • The AMPATH Network is built upon Global Crossing’s terrestrial and submarine optical-fiber networks • But AMPATH is more than a Network for the Americas…

  4. Fifth Tier-1 NAP • Strategically located to serve Latin America, the Caribbean, Southern Europe and Africa • Close to major carrier POPs and 7 worldwide undersea cable landings

  5. International Cable Landings

  6. What is AMPATH? • 10 DS3s from Global Crossing • Cisco GSR 12012 • Lucent CBX 500 ATM switch • Juniper M10 router • Collocation in the NAP of the Americas • Shared OC3 to Abilene with the South Florida GigaPOP

  7. AMPATH Service Area • Argentina • Brazil • Chile • Colombia • Costa Rica • Mexico • Panama • Peru • Puerto Rico • US Virgin Islands • Venezuela
