Customer Empowered Optical Networks - CESNET´s Approach Jan Gruntorád, Stanislav Šíma CESNET, z.s.p.o. Czech Republic Internet2 Member Meeting Arlington, April 9th, 2003
Presentation overwiev • CESNET introduction • Concept of Customer Empowered networks • Access to dark fibers • NIL – Nothing in Line concept • Future plans
CESNET, z. s. p. o. • Established as legal entity – not for profit Association of Legal Entities (z.s.p.o.) in 1996 • 27 Universities • Czech Academy of Science • 48 staff members in Prague • more than 100 part-time member universities and academy of sciences staff
Funding • Research Intend: „High Speed National Research Network and Its New Applications“ • 1999-2003 • Supported by Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic: • Institutional Funds: 6.6 mil. EURO/ year • Members fees: 2.5 mil.EURO/ year
Concept of Customer Empowered Networks - more flexibility for the „Customer“ - more cost effective - access to dark fibres essential
1999 Telecom market situation in CZ - offer much higher than demand Convinced one company (MERO) lease dark fiber between Praha – Brno for pilot project.
Last (First Mile Issue) - concept of „meeting“ point - joined investment of fiber provider, CESNET and local organization to fiber between „meeting“ point and CESNET PoP location
