  1. PORTA OPTICA STUDY Distributed Optical Gatewayto Eastern Europe www.porta-optica.org Artur Binczewski, Bartłomiej Idzikowski, Miłosz Przywecki,Maciej Stroiński, Wojciech Śronek, Jan Węglarz Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center Stanisław Starzak Technical University of Lodz The Porta Optica Study project is funded by the European Commission under the FP6 contract no. 026617

  2. The Digital Divide Issue • optical network is goal of NRENs and everyone should have access • very demanding scientific applicationsneed carefulattention • research networksare a national asset • there is a digital divideinsidetheEuropean R&E community

  3. Overview • funded by EC ( instrument SSA FP6 ) • duration: 15months • start: 01/02/2006 • end: 30/04/2007 • 3 main beneficiary regions: • Baltic States - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania • Eastern Europe - Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova • Southern Caucasus - Armenia, Azerbaijan,Georgia

  4. Partners

  5. Objectives • identification of user communitiesand their requirements • identification of availability of national dark fibre infrastructure • preparing case studies with economical analysis of fibre network development • results dissemination and raisingawareness

  6. User communities • user requirements analysis • over 960 research and education institutions • 700 higher education institutions • 129 cities • information about scientific institutions in beneficiary countries is available in: • D1.1 ”Users database” • D1.4 ”Requirements of user communities”

  7. User communities:Lithuanian example • main R&E centers: • Kaunas, Vilnius, Siaulai,Moletai, Panevezys and Klaipeda Connection needs of institutions in Lithuania: 3-30 Mbps 19% > 300 Mbps 31% 30-300 Mbps 50%

  8. Fiber availabilityanalysis • RFI sent to 52 DF owners and constructors identified in all beneficiary countries: • 17 not answered • 8 refusals • 27 answers • DF freely available in Baltic States • monopoly situation in Belarus (by 2008) • in Moldova and South Caucasus (SC) countries acquiring DF is nearly impossible

  9. Legal and political analysis • analysis of legal and political situation in beneficiary countries: • limitations in use of DF exist in SC countries, Belarus and Ukraine • no ICT strategy in Armenia, Georgia and Latvia • limitations for international connectivity in SC region and Belarus • legal & political issues are described in D2.3 ”Legal and political environment of NRENs” • issues related to SC region are described in D2.2 ”Special issues related to Southern Caucasus”

  10. Case studies • plans of the optical network based on information about research and education centers in beneficiary countries and about fiber availability in beneficiary countries • in cases where acquiring DF is not available lease of bandwidth is considered • approximately 11 000 km of DF are needed • approximately 4500 km of leased lines are needed • detailed description is available in D3.1 ”Case Studies”

  11. Case studies:Lithuanian example • 1 Gbps current GÉANT2 connectivity • 10 Gbps GÉANT2 connectivity requiredfor 2009 • 10 Gbps main backbone planned • approx. 1900 km of DF are needed • leasing / purchasing of DF • possible construction of DF

  12. Dark Fibers infrastructure

  13. Raising awareness • main goal is to achieve critical mass of support and know-how necessary to deploy dark fiber infrastructure • set of promotional materials are available: poster, folder, flier, website: www.porta-optica.organd short videoclip:http://www.porta-optica.org/press.php

  14. Raising awareness • fliers, posters distributed at ~50 events/meetings • 5 international training events: • Prague, Czech Rep. • Poznan, Poland • Riga, Latvia • Kiev, Ukraine • Tbilisi, Georgia

  15. Raising awareness(2) • presentations at international conferences: IST2006 in Helsinki, 3x Silk Board (Tbilisi, Baku, Istanbul), 3xBSI, NATO ANW and Sustainability Workshop in Istanbul, Symposium „Telecommunications without Borders” in Odessa, „South Caucasus Scientific Cooperation” in Tbilisi , CEF in Prague, „Grid Open Day” in Riga, CODATA2006 in Beijing, ICFA Workshop on HEP Networking in Cracow

  16. Raising awareness(3) • presentations at 18 national meetings in beneficiary countries • numerous meetings with policy makers • mentioned in journals • mentioned in radio/TV broadcast
