What is CanalAVIST?

Within ASEAN framework, CanalAVIST is apart of ..

ASEAN Virtual Institute for Science &Technology (AVIST)

ASEAN Science and Technology Research andEducation Network Alliance (ASTRENA)

“Providing channels for seamless education, teaching,training, conferencing, lectures, and talks through

ASEAN countries for ASEAN researchers and students.”

Mission:

“Coming together to share learning, experiences andresources to develop our people”

Objectives:To provide rapid dissemination and sustainable sharing ofknowledge, information, data and skills in the context ofASEAN countries for:

- Life Long e-Learning (AVIST)- Channels of Events- Cumulative Repository of Recorded Learning Materials

TEIN2 network infrastructure

Before TEIN2.. APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network)

Transpac Link between Asia and USA Other Links: SG-US (Internet2), JP-PH

(Agriculture) AI3 satellite testbed www.ai3.net

Two-way: JP, ID, MY, PH, SG, TH, VN Unidirectional: KH, LA, MM

Trans Eurasia Information Network1st link: Korea- France 2001 (2 Mbps)

From TEIN1 to TEIN2 Intra-Asia regional network Asia-Europe inter-regional links 10million Euros European Commission funding

+ funding by 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

3

TEIN2 is part of the regional(APAN) network fabric

Launched at Halong Bay in June 2006

Provides short paths to Europe (going west)

Provides short paths WITHIN the APAN region (instead oftransit via US or Japan)

Capacity ranges from 45Mbps to 2.5Gbps

Complements the multi-Gigabit networks from Japan andKorea to the US

Catalysed new NRENS in Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam

TEIN2 networkstarted Jan 2006,now connects:

• 30million researchers and students• 4000 institutions• 10 countries

PoPs in Singapore, HK andBeijing; NOC in HK

Funded to Sept 2008,then……

…TEIN3 Network project! European Commission has approved funding to end

2011 Extend to South Asia Further support for application development Transfer TEIN3 programme to Asian ownership Plan for ‘TEIN4’ Vietnam the first country to submit a Letter of Intent

to participate in TEIN3

Timezones and PopulationsTEIN2:Member countries represent 1/3 ofthe world’s population in a timezonerange spanning only 3 hours

TEIN3Potential member countriesrepresent almost 60% of the world’spopulation in a timezone rangespanning only 5 hours

Small timezone range is critical forinteractive collaboration

TEIN3 Network Topology To be determined from the tender results (not pre-

defined) Current TEIN2 hub locations to be reviewed Europe-Asia links going West from Asia, likely to be

622Mbps, 2.5 or 10 Gbps Intra-Asia links likely to be in range 155Mbps to

10Gbps depending on partner needs, affordabilityby project and partner, and topology requirements(cost for some countries still currently very high)
