Telecommunication status in RA VI RA VI Workshop on the implementation of WIS Sofia, Bulgaria, 1-3 November 2011 Matteo Dell’Acqua - Météo France Chair TT on RMDCN
Session 3 – WIS telecommunication RMDCN Satellite communication & multicast Discussion
RMTN configuration • - The majority of the links are through the RMDCN • - The number of additional circuits on bilateral agreement has increased • Easy to implement additional links through the Internet and cloud network services • A few Internet based circuits • The number of non-operational circuits is 7 • - Remarkable improvement in circuit speed • - Satellite broadcasting systems are available to complement to the GTS
49 sites are connected 45 National meteorological services 35 from RA-VI ECMWF EUMETSAT (2 sites) 1 disaster recovery site for The Netherlands RMDCN Configuration • Israel connected to the RMDCN (June 2011 - 1 Mbps Mission Critical) • South Africa is being connected (2 Mbps Mission Critical) • Very reliable
RMDCN • From 64 kbps to 8 Mbps • 2 access circuits or 1 circuit + backup • Some RA-VI countries have not joined RMDCN, mainly due to cost concerns. • This situation is not likely to change in a near future • 2nd WMO Task Team on the RMDCN 28-29 June 2011 at ECMWF, Reading • Topics related to the requirements for the next generation of the RMDCN were discussed • RA-VI Workshop on next generation RMDCN in spring 2012
EUMETCast Overview DVB-S file based satellite dissemination system >2900 Users in RA-VI Tellicast multicast reception software using off the shelf PC and antenna systems • RETIM and DWDSAT as third party dissemination services for RA-VI on EUMETCast • EOPortal at EUMETSAT for user registration and data discovery
Internet Primary link for some NMHS Through VPN connexions To get additional bandwidth at affordable costs ECMWF products Backup method for RMDCN sites Operational DMVPN-based solution managed by ECMWF Access method to the MPLS cloud
