Overview
• 12 project partners, typically academic networks (e.g.
GRENA, URAN/UARNET, PIONEER)
• 9 beneficiary countries:
 Eastern Europe: Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova
 Baltic states: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania
 S. Caucasus: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia

Partners
Main Goal
Stimulation and consolidation of
initiatives to ensure the (later)
successful, dark-fiber based research
network deployment in the Eastern
Europe, Baltic states and Southern
Caucasus regions.
POS is feasibility study for later FO
deployment.

Identification of user communities
and their requirements (WP1)
-identification of user communities
collaborating with leading
European research projects;
- identification of NRENs, their
operating environment, existing
and potential customers and their
ability to cooperate in European
Research;
- survey of end-user needs of
identified user communities.

Fiber infrastructure
availability (WP2)
Assessment of fiber infrastructure
availability (WP2):
• assessment FO deployment
opportunities for NRENs
• international connectivity
analysis
• analysis of legal and political
environment

Case studies &
deployment scenarios (WP3)
Fiber network case studies and
deployment scenarios (WP3):
• a series of case studies for dark fiber network
deployment in Eastern Europe, Baltic States and
Southern Caucasus countries
• economical analysis of dark fiber deployment
possibilities and financial model of network
operations
• comprehensive international fiber network
deployment plan
• Acceptable Use Policy for proposed network

WP4 GOAL
To achieve critical mass
of support and know-how
necessary to deploy dark
fiber infrastructure.

WP4 will:
• design and maintain a project portal;
• raise end user awareness
• address NREN owners & policy
makers
• train NREN staff
• investigate additional sources of
funding
• interact with similar initiatives and
projects

Lithuania LITNET
• GÉANT2 connection: 2.5 Gb/s
• its own dark fibre from Klajpeda to Kaunas and Vilnius
• backbone has capacities of 200 Mb/s and 1 Gb/s
• other intercity links: 4 - 30 Mb/s
Potential Impact
22 cities
109 scientific institutions
25 higher education
institutions
137 732 university
students
Identification
of User Communities
• 80 scientific and education institutions
• 22 cities to connect

•
No GÉANT2 connection ( in progress )
dark fibre intercity from Kiev to Lviv ( 155 Mb/s )
connection from Kiev to Odessa ( 10 Mb/s )
other cities ( 128 Kb/s – 2 Mb/s )
• UARNet
• CEI
Ukraine
FP6 projects participation
• Latvia:
26 cities, 157 institutions
population: 2 306 000
more than 65 joint EC projects
• Lithuania: 22 cities, 80 institutions
population: 3 608 000
more than 90 joint EC projects
• Ukraine: 43 cities, 665 institutions
population: 47 318 000
less than 20 joint EC projects!!!!!
Shouldn’t we do something?

• Having FO connection inside Ukraine and to GEANT2
our researchers and scientists will have possibility for full
participation in EC and other worldwide joint projects
• This will bring a great opportunity to increase scientific
potential of Ukraine, attract external funds for researchers
and stop the “brain drain”

User Needs
What can happen?
• Due to further technology development (which will surely
demand FO Internet for data transferring and processing)
Ukraine will have no possibility to participate in modern joint
scientific projects
• We will lose the time and probably will have no possibility
to catch up European scientific community
A4.4 Other Dissemination Activities
Search for additional (apart from national)
sources of funding for future fibre deployment
from the EC (FP7, ENP?), EU States national
funds dedicated for assisting developing countries
and international organizations that are actively
involved in the targeted regions, such as
UNESCO, NATO, the World Bank, etc.
