@LIS Research Networks Initiative12.5 Million Euros where 10 Million provided by EuropeAid, 2.5 Million provided by LA PartnersEuropean Partners: DANTE, FCCN, GARR, RedIRIS, RenaterLatin American Partners: 18 National Research and Education Networks coordinated by CLARAStart dage: June 1, 2003End date: March 31, 2008Proposed continuation until 2011
ALICE’s ResultsALICE’s Results
A regional Research and Education Network has been created13 LA Countries connected8 New NREN’s have been createdTechnical training provided to engineers of all 18 NREN’sOver 750 Universities and Research Institutions connectedSeveral Research Collaborations of large scale with high end science groups
The WHREN/LILA ProjectThe WHREN/LILA Project
WHREN: Western Hemisphere Research and Education NetworkLILA Links Interconnecting Latin AmericaSubmited to NSF in April 2004 leaded by CENIC and FIUAproved by NSF in December 20041.2 Gbps Link Tijuana-San Diego-LA2.4 Gbps Sao Paulo-Miami shared with CHEPREO and ANSPConnections to PacWave and Atlantic Wave
RedCLARA’s Development RedCLARA’s Development PlanPlan
Future backbone should be composed at least of CLARA owned dark fiber in the following links
AR-CL
AR-BR
The Intercontinental link to Europe should reach 2.5 Gbps during 2009 growing to 1.2 Gbps in 2008
The PA-MX and PA-CL should be at least STM-4 as well as the BR-MX
The Node in Miami should be connected to PA at 1.2 Gbps
RedCLARA will have an additional peering point in Miami with US Networks
Most links to countries should reach STM-1 speed by 2009
