  5. Current Focus • Connectivity Tender for LA regional research network and its interconnection to GÉANT • Equipment Tender • LA regional NOC definition • Training and Technical Support Plan • PR All work is carried out in close co-operation with CLARA.

  6. Possible Latin American network topology • Major connectivity between AR, BR, CL, MX (STM-1) • Other countries connect to major nodes (between 10 and 45 Mbps) • Connectivity to Europe (STM-4) • Topology and capacities dependent on result of the ALICE connectivity tender

  7. ALICE Timetable • September-November 2003: Connectivity Tender negotiations and finalisation • October 2003: Equipment Tender to be launched • Early Spring 2004: Network roll-out starts • Project to last until end of May 2006
