  1. IEEAF Update(Asia focus)January 26, 2005 John Silvester, USC Board Member, IEEAF (www.ieeaf.org) Chair, CENIC (www.cenic.org)

  2. IEEAF - What is it? • U.S. 501.c.3 Not-for-profit corporation • http://www.ieeaf.org/ • Formed from original MOU between GEO (private sector) and CENIC (Corporation for Educational Networking Initiatives in California) • Vision: Accelerate the global growth of Advanced Internet (Internet2) to achieve "universal educational access” to: • Enable and stimulate the rapid expansion of research and educational collaboration in many forms between teaching and learning institutions around the world. • Cultivate and promote practical solutions to delivering scalable, universally available and equitable access to suitable bandwidth and necessary network resources in support of these collaborations.

  3. Public-Private Partnership: IEEAF • The IEEAF goal is to leverage unique private sector relationships to obtain donations of bandwidth and related resources to enable global collaboration in research and education. • Current donations have already linked US and Europe, US and Asia-Pacific, and produced fiber assets in US and Europe. • This bandwidth helps enable global collaborations in research and education, in the true spirit of the “Global Quilt.”

  4. IEEAF - How does it work? • Partner with various organizations on strategies, specific initiatives • Leverage global deregulation and new entrants into telco business • Leverage private sector business relationships • Geographic Network Affiliates, Inc. (GEO) • Build donations into business deals (contracts) as no-cost IRUs

  5. Ed Fantegrossi + Universities GEO - The Catalyst GEO builds carrier hotel buildings and supports the IEEA Foundation goals which include helping to solve the digital divide. Government “The Need” Terrestrial Fiber “The Dry” Submarine Fiber “The Wet”

  6. IEEAF Organization • Honest Broker Group (IEEAF) • Accepting assets • Matching Corp assets w/Educational needs • Advocate for assets on behalf of Education • Granting of assets as Free Use licenses

  7. "Non Nobis Solo" (Not by ourselves alone) IEEAF Vision: The Global Quilt • A Network of Networks, “stitched together” to create a common single fabric, and shared equally by all. This will be achieved through collaboration and community effort, until it covers the globe. • The IEEAF has no boundaries of “home” territory…..

  8. IEEAF - What does it do? • Gets donated communications assets • Makes them available to existing institutions and networking organizations to put to work • Vehicle: Asset Steward Agreement

  9. Think Globally – Act Locally Strategic Opportunistic

  10. Tyco* Telecomm Donation Summary • Co-location space in NYC for Expanded International Exchange Point • Production R&E Bandwidth: 622 Mbps • NY-London-Groningen (Netherlands) • Connects to IEEAF fiber to Amsterdam and Hamburg • US-Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Singapore • Research 10 Gbps optical wavelength (preemptable) • NY-London-Groningen (Netherlands) • US-Tokyo, • Continuation to Seoul, Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Singapore committed when fiber is lit • 200sq.ft. Co-location space in each of global facilities • Additional donations as global build-out continues (*) Acquisition by VSNL (Videsh Sanchar Nigam) pending

  15. Other Donations • 7,000 km fiber pair in Europe in negotiation to be lit as a 10 gigabyte network. • Fiber pair: Amsterdam-Groningen-Hamburg • Fiber pair: UK • Submarine bandwidth in progress: • To Lisbon • UK-Bilbao-Madrid-Valencia-Barcelona-Marseilles • To Copenhagen and St. Petersburg • A new 10 gigabyte trans-Atlantic connectivity which GEO will use specifically for telemedicine and HEP initiatives. • 88 strands of fiber from the Tyco Cable Station to Hamburg, Germany. • A new 30 million dollar 70,000 square foot tech facility in Hamburg. • 8,000 miles of trans-USA fiber has been donated by AT&T to the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) for their USAWaves initiative through GEO and IEEAF efforts.

  16. TLEX BLEX Thailand TLEX-BLEX initiative • c.f. presentation by H.E. Dr. Surapong Suebwonglee at APAN05 in Bangkok • IEEAF is working with WIDE and Thailand to achieve this objective
