Knowledge Network-Exploiting California’s Experience in Fiber-based Research and
Education Networking Why create knowledge network CENIC as provider of knowledge
network in California Importance of high speed networking
to research Why separate, fiber-based network
outside of normal telecommunications services is desirable for knowledge networks

Economic Impact of CA Public Education
“California’s public education systems not only create vital educational opportunities that help improve the quality of life for all Californians, they also represent the economic engine that keeps California thriving and globally competitive.”
-- CCC Chancellor Diane Woodruff

Economic Impact of CA Public Education
A strong economy needs a strong education community — examples include: UC: critical to California’s leading industries
(patents, research, start-ups) CSU: 45% of California’s computer and
electronics engineers CCC: 300,000 engineering/industrial students
each year, 200,000 IT students K12: Supplies incoming students to ALL the
above

Knowledge Network Empowering Education in
California Broadband networking strengthens
California economy through empowering the CA educational community: California K-12 System-over 1000 districts and
8000 schools California’s Community Colleges-110 colleges California State University-23 campuses University of California-10 campuses Private and Independent universities (e.g.,
Caltech, Stanford, USC, etc.)

Knowledge Network Should be looked at as infrastructure,
similar to power Critical component for R&E today-
and therefore critical to future economy
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
CENIC Nonprofit, formed in 1997 by CA R&E
community to exploit economies of scale in networking and offer pre commercial services
Originally 9 UC campuses, 3 CSU campuses, Caltech, Stanford, and USC
Now, all of CA K-20 public educational institutions, 3 original privates, Naval Postgraduate, USD, USF, NASA Ames, National U, Pepperdine, Wharton West etc.
Governed by & answerable to K-20 segments

CENIC’s Mission and Goals-focused and narrow
Mission: “…to develop, deploy and operate leading edge network-
based services and to facilitate and coordinate their use for the research and education community to advance learning and innovation”
Goals: Provide competitive advantage in global marketplace to
education and research communities
Provide opportunities for innovation in teaching, learning and research through use of the network.

CENIC Funding Overview National Science Foundation Grant-
for some one-start up funds Members pay fees for on going costs
and costs for refreshing the network to maintain technology currency
When K-12 schools and 2 year community colleges added in 2000, restructured fees
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
California State and Federal Participation
No direct funding from State Public college and university (State)
budgets include funding for networking
Relatively small amounts of Federal funding (via National Science Foundation grants) for international connectivity)
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Current funding and fees Fee structure established to
ENCOURAGE use-flat annual fees rather than usage-based fees
Though no direct State funding, customers/members include all public/State institutions
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Fee Structure Annual Backbone Fees- Equal for K12, 2
year colleges, 4 year public colleges and 4 year public research Universities. Fees pay for unlimited use.
Each pays for cost to connect from school/campus site to backbone (circuit or fiber plus equipment)
Some optional services-e.g., video teleconferencing paid for by those who use it

CENIC’s Members and Governance
Government not a member, not served Commercial firms not a member, not
served May begin to support Statewide
telemedicine network Board is composed of members
State government is not on Board Board representation is sized to educational
segment (K-12, 2 year colleges, 4 year public colleges, 4 year public research and single research institutions)

Why Very High Speed Networking is Critical
Attract faculty/researchers Compete and participate in international
science/research Satisfy needs of researchers/facilitate
collaboration
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Why Owned Fiber Networks for R&E
Economies in offering multiple high speed networks, via Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
Ability to offer dedicated networking to individual researchers at very low, marginal cost, compared to pricing of common telecommunications carriers
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Need to Serve Multiplicity of Needs Fiber supported our needs to serve a wide range of
uses, from K-12 to leading network researchers Allows for the coexistence of multiple independent
network tiers (using separate light waves or lambdas)Network Development and EvolutionFor the California Research and Education Community

Why CENIC Acquired Fiber-2001
Cost containment-expenditures on TeleCo circuits linear
Responsiveness Ability to meet different
needs/flexibility Ability to provision large amounts of
capacity for short periods of time. Ability to provision capacity upon little
notice Allow/support the
unplanned/unthinkable
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Why Acquire Fiber in 2008? Cost containment. Responsiveness. Ability to meet different
needs/flexibility. Capabilities to:
Attract faculty, Compete for research dollars, Satisfy needs of researchers, and, Support emerging telemedicine.
Allow/support unthinkable. Critical component of cyber
infrastructure.

Owned Fiber Networks Provide Freedom
Traditional network and organizational processes are fixed and immobile, limiting the ability for users or customers to innovate and create new custom solutions.
Owned fiber is the solution. Grids and cyber-infrastructure are the
first steps in this direction of user control and management in the research community.

CENIC Fiber in CA Dot com boom resulted in already
installed fiber being available for sale to CENIC
CENIC has built fiber in addition to installed fiber-generally for relatively short distances, but up to 100 miles in one case
Fiber is either installed on existing telcom or power poles, in existing telecom conduit or in newly installed duct
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Right of Ways and Permitting
In California, telecommunications companies have access to power poles. CENIC-acquired and -installed fiber obtained via competitive local exchange carriers
CalTrans (Dept of Highways) has new mandate to assist broadband deployment
In CA, are various entities having permitting jurisdictions-can slow down projects

Building Better High Speed Networking Tools for Higher
Ed Maintaining leadership in technology Promotes innovation – Cyber
infrastructure Measures pre-eminence in higher ed
among nations. Creates new “norms of practice and
rules, incentives, and constraints that shape individual and collective action”-NSF, Chief Arden Bement Jr

Summary Knowledge Network is required for
international research competitiveness Knowledge Network requires fiber
infrastructure Fiber network can support other Mexico-
specific needs (e.g., network backbone for K-12)
Governance structure must include members/users
Funding model must not discourage usage
