    1. GEANT2, APAN, TEIN2/3 & South Asia Feasibility Study

    3. Todays Topology 25 POPs Hybrid structure 11600km of dark fibre Multiple 10Gbps paths Global connections to other R&E networks 15 Connectivity providers Drivers: Technology Cost reduction User demand

    6. What is TEIN2? Intra-Asia regional network with Asia-Europe intercontinental links (both trans-Siberian and Indian Ocean) Funded by 10million Euros from European Commission + contributions from Asian partner countries TEIN2 programme aims to: build and operate a regional network promote network usage through catalysing applications train technical staff in developing countries reduce the digital divide

    8. Next Phase TEIN3 TEIN2 launched in June 2006 Around 30million users and 4,000 institutions in 11 countries now connect to TEIN2 via their NRENs European Commission has approved funding for follow-on (TEIN3) program to end 2011 Intention to extend to South Asia (subject to feasibility study) potential new partner countries are: Bangladesh [7], Bhutan, India [2], Nepal, Pakistan [6], Sri Lanka (feasibility study kick-off meeting 13-14 May) Further support for application development Transfer TEIN3 programme to Asian ownership Plan for TEIN4

    10. TEIN3 Work Package 5 South Asia Feasibility Study One of the key objectives of TEIN3 is to extend the TEIN network and programme to South Asia To this end, a feasibility study (SAFS) is being undertaken in conjunction with the prospective South Asian partners Seven countries were identified for inclusion in the SAFS: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan The study is assessing: the status and prospects for research and education networking in the target countries the role that TEIN3 could play to assist the countries, and the obligations of the target countries of participation in TEIN3

    11. Areas of Study (1) Current status of research and education networking and plans Draw together relevant studies & analyses undertaken or underway, augmented with information about capabilities, plans and needs provided by participants. Investigate national & international networking infrastructures & organisational structures, also user communities and current and potential applications that could be supported via TEIN3

    12. Areas of Study (2) Telecommunications market assessment Analyse regulatory and telecommunications market conditions to assess the feasibility, available technologies, supplier capabilities and potential costs of connection to TEIN3 Undertake a comprehensive RFI for international capacity to gain a good insight into capabilities, costs and potential topologies

    13. Areas of Study (3) TEIN3 participation assessment Assess the benefits, costs and modalities for each target country of participating in the TEIN3 programme Judge against the state of national readiness to benefit from the programme Assess what TEIN3 can offer in terms of support towards connectivity, applications development, and human capacity development Take account of the needs of each country and what can be afforded from within the TEIN3 funding envelope

    14. Areas of Study (4) Sustainability Lesson learnt from other studies needs to be addressed from the outset TEIN3 is contracted to end 2011, after that date significant European funding support cannot be assumed. Need for target countries to discuss with their governments the principle of long term and increasing commitments to support continued participation.

    15. 2008 Roadmap 13-14 May 2008 SAFS Kick-off meeting, Singapore Introducing TEIN2/3, participant presentations, NREN data collection analysis, determine action items 11-12 August 2008 2nd SAFS meeting, Kathmandu International capacity offerings RFI review, cost sharing model, user applications survey, preliminary SAFS report Early December 2008 3rd SAFS meeting, Vientienne, Laos Feasibility Study report, indicative funding proposals to partners Early 2009 EC reviews Feasibility Study results, South Asian Partners decide whether to join TEIN3

    16. 2009 Roadmap Q1 Joiners participate in TEIN3 Technical Committee meeting Q1 Q2 TEIN3 South Asia Connectivity Tender Q3 Q4 TEIN3 South Asian partners connected to TEIN3 network

    17. Participation Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan all signed letters of endorsement and participated in the Kick-off meeting Bhutan participated in the 2nd SAFS meeting NATO is currently exploring the connection of Afghanistan in an extension of the Virtual Silk Road. The intention is to cooperate with NATO and have NATO participate in SAFS meetings The World Band participated in the 2nd SAFS meeting exploring potential synergies. WB catalysing NREN development in Bangladesh TransPac/IRNC participated in the 2nd SAFS meeting, building on the collaboration already started with the Pakistan/Internet2 connection Interactions with the Asian Development Bank/SASEC Information Superhighway project (involving BT, BD, IN, NP)

    18. Initial data collection Reps from each country identified (from Government and NREN) Letters of endorsement to participate provided from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan Comprehensive survey initiated covering (for each country): Geographic indicators Economic indicators Telecommunications/Internet indicators including international capacity NREN indicators including funding, staffing, user community, capacity and traffic, and services offered

    19. International Capacity RFI Objective To test the market in the target countries of South Asia Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka (Bhutan not included this round) More specifically to test for International connection capability and offerings: between the South Asian countries between South Asian countries and TEIN2 PoPs between South Asian Countries and GEANT2 PoPs To determine network topologies that make sense based on suppliers indicative offerings and indicative costs for these

    20. Schematic of offers

    21. 21 Summary Positive interaction among partners Telecommunications market and competition improving Started to identify applications that are low hanging fruit that will illustrate the value of the network Continue to identify current and potential collaborations between South Asian partners and: other South Asian partners other TEIN2/3 partners European collaborators Other collaborations esp US

    22. Applications and Collaborations Sub-study A sub-study framework has been developed and documented following feedback from participants before, during and after the Kick-off meeting A high degree of commonality between partners was established in the areas of collaboration tools, digital libraries, and telehealth Parvati Dev, with support from South Asian practitioners, has agreed to lead the development of a roadmap for telehealth in South Asia Surveys were undertaken on collaboration tools, digital libraries and other collaborations

    23. Collaboration Tools

    24. Digital Libraries

    25. Other discipline collaborations

    26. Engaging User communities

    27. International Research for Prevention and Mitigation of Meteorological Disasters in Southeast Asia Risk of high-impact weather is increasing due to: economic development and urbanization global warming and climate change Probability information obtained using new techniques made based on sophisticated collection of earth observation data and high capacity networks is a critical to the development of decision support tools Research environment is rapidly changing due to: growth of computer power improvement of internet infrastructure [refer Philippines typhoon prediction example]

    28. Earth Observation Applications (1) Crops Yield Forecasting; Rice, Sugar cane, Rubber, Palm, Cassava (2) Natural Resources Monitoring & Management; Forest and Parks (3) Agricultural Land Reform, Land-use, Land-cover, Public Land (4) Flood Preparedness, Monitoring, Mitigation, Assessment (5) Water Reservoir & Dams and Irrigation (6) Draught Prediction and Water Management (7) Illicit crop monitoring (8) GIS development (9) Geo-spatial Data Sets (10) Image Intelligence and National Security
