  1. South-East Europe Fibre Infrastructure for Research and Education Valentino Cavalli SEEFIRE Project Manager TERENA cavalli@terena.nl The SEEFIRE project is co-funded by the European Commission under the FP6 IST contract no. 15817

  2. Content • SEEFIRE Overview • Partners • background • Objectives • Main (expected) results • Current fibre deployments in SEE CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 2

  3. SEEFIRE Overview • Specific Support Actions (SSA) project funded by the EC (6th FP) • Start date: 1 March 2005 • End date: 28 February 2006 • Project budget € 416,273 - EC contribution € 350,000 • SEEFIRE builds on the results of previous IST projects (SEEREN, SERENATE and GN1) • Main goal • To produce studies on the options available for acquiring an optical fibre network infrastructure and strategies for the development of research and education networking in southeast Europe, with a specific emphasis on Western Balkan countries. CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 3

  4. Partners • 11 Partners: • TERENA (NL) • Claire Milne (Antelope Consulting/TERENA) • GRNET (GR) • CESNET (CZ) • NIIF/HUNGARNET (HU) • AMREJ (CS) • DANTE (UK) • RoEduNet (RO) • ISTF (BG) • INIMA (AL) • BIHARNET (BH) • MARNET (MK) CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 4

  5. Background • There is a significant digital divide in Europe which affects many countries in southeast Europe • The SEEREN initiative helped in providing international connectivity to countries in the region • However, longer-term, cost-effective solutions are needed in the future • SERENATE recommended the acquisition of dark fibre by NRENs as a way of decreasing the digital divide in a cost-effective way • There are dark-fibre deployment experiences in the region, which should be sustained and supported • Southeast European countries are entering the eInfrastructures community • Long-term vision: to create a southeast European fibre backbone fostering collaboration of researchers and students CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 5

  6. Objectives • To provide a benchmark of existing and potentially available optical fibre for NRENs in the southeast European region • To analyse the technical options available for the deployment of dark fibre and the management of optical transmission by NRENs in the region • To study regulatory and legal issues • To develop an economic model for the acquisition and operation of own network connectivity by NRENs • To disseminate information and increase awareness about dark-fibre deployment both at technical and policy-making levels CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 6

  7. Timeline / Milestones CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 7

  8. Study on (dark) fibre acquisition • July 05, Dark Fibre database to identify the fibre availability in the SE region • Deliver a database of available (dark) fibre (and planting projects) in SEE that will assist SEE-NRENs in their National and International fibre acquisition roadmaps • Identify (dark) fibre interconnection points and cross-border connections in SEE (and determine which ones should be established for seamless interconnection) that will assist SEE-NRENs in National and International interconnectivity plans • Aug 05, Report on the status of owned national connectivity in SEE • Report on the status of SEE NRENs that will assist SEE NRENs in benchmarking their progress and update their sustainability plans • Describe and assess the status of (all) SEE NRENs owned national connectivity and related acquisition projects that will accelerate (via best practices) SEE NRENs fibre acquisition plans CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 8

  9. Transmission technology study • Oct 05, Report on NREN-empowered dark-fibre transmission technologies • focus on available technologies and equipment for enabling a dark-fibre infrastructure at different levels: metro, national, regional and international. • evaluate a multiplicity of approaches and technological options in terms of equipment for lighting dark fibre and creating point-to-point lambdas. • provide detailed information on technical specifications of equipment • provide technical and financial aspects of deployment alternatives. • Dec 05, Guidelines for support of deployment of NREN-empowered fibre infrastructure • Guidelines for future deployment of own fibre infrastructure by NRENs, transition from telco-SDH services to a dark-fibre based network, gradually upgrade transfer rate on heavy-traffic lines • Examples of documents and specifications successfully used for procurement of DF and transmission equipment • Describe SEE NRENs experience about equipment functionality, installation principles, redundancy and protection issues CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 9

  10. Regulatory and economic study • Nov 05, Study on the regulatory and legal framework • Current regulatory status and plans for adopting the EU communication package • Status of competition to supply dark fibre in the country – price dependency • Procedures and costs for obtaining permissions for civil works (also about cross-border links) • Strength and independence of the regulatory body • Etc. • Feb 06, Economical model for the acquisition and operation of dark fibre networks in SE Europe • Cost Categories • -Fibre (basis for acquisition) • -Hardware – Granularity of Costs • -Management and Maintenance • -Housing costs • Demand Analysis CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 10

  11. Workshops and white paper • 14-15 July 05, SEEFIRE Technical Workshop (Sofia, Bulgaria) to discuss technical aspect of dark fibre deployment • Jan 06, SEEFIRE Policy workshop • Feb 06, White paper – strategic report on SEE Fibre Infrastructure for NRENs CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 11

  12. Serbia and Montenegro 1/4 Existing intercity dark-fibre topology • Contract with Telekom Srbija – signed in Q3 of 2003 • Telekom Srbija is establishing lines extremely slowly (they are late more then a year) because almost everywhere optical local loops have to be built • Novi Sad – Subotica CWDM (4 lambdas) over 110km of G.652 • All permissions obtained for cross-border connections to Hungary • Agreement with Hungarnet agreed, to be signed very soon • Agreed also connection to Zvornik (Bosnia and Herzegovina) CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 12

  13. Serbia and Montenegro 2/4 All intercity DF lines which are under the Contract • On some lines Telekom doesn’t have sufficient DF capacity in the cable at the moment ( Novi Sad – Zrenjanin, Beograd - Nis) • Electric Power company of Serbia has considerable amount of intercity DF on the north of the country, but is unwilling to lease fibers at the moment. • Other companies (railways and gas companies) have small, almost negligible amount of intercity DF • No DF or contract for DF in Montenegro part of the NREN at the moment • Telekom Crne Gore (Montenegro) changed owner recently and their position on DF lease is unknown at the moment CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 13

  14. Serbia and Montenegro 3/4 • Dark Fibre in Cities • In Belgrade 6 important nodes are connected in MAN. More then 30 institutions in Belgrade are under the same contract with Telekom Srbija. Expected to be connected by the end of 2005. • In Nis, Kragujevac and Novi Sad almost all institutions are already connected by DF (4 nodes in Novi Sad, 3 in Kragujevac and 3 in Nis). In Nis 2 institutions still don’t have DF local loops • All lines are 1Gbps Ethernet CEF Workshop – Prague, 16-18 May 2005 14
