Evolution of Market Competitiveness : International Intra-European Connectivity
GÉANT Facts and Figures • European Capacity 146 Gbps • Global Connectivity 7.5 Gbps • Europe Capacity 2003 • 140 Gbps Wavelength • 6 Gbps SDH • European Cost • 14 M Euro Wavelength • 16 M Euro SDH
Reasons for Smoothing • Spare Capacity • 140 Gbps Trunk • 50 Gbps Access • Other Costs = 10 M Euro • Better Quality Access • Dual Connection • Redundant Capacity • Geographic Dependency 40%
Future Demand • Aggregate Growth • New Applications • Projects
Are Projects Different? • Very Large Bandwidth • Limited Set of Locations • Specific (well articulated?) Needs
