Utreras Executive Director of CLARA [email protected] Michael Stanton Director of R&D, RNP-Brazil [email protected] Conference: IRNC Kickoff Meeting Date: July 13, 2010 Place: Arlington, Virginia, USA RedCLARA2: Towards an Terrestrial Optical Network in Latin America RedCLARA January-September 2009 Including EuropeAid’s ALICE2, CLARA and NSF’s WHREN-LILA Brazil-US upgrades July-Sept 2009 Before: 2.5 Gbps (NSF + Fapesp) After: 2x 10Gbps (NSF + Fapesp + RNP) In both cases, shared with RedCLARA (now 1 Gbps) Technical Description RedCLARA 2009 • Backbone: – 155 Mbps leased SDH circuits – Mostly submarine cable usage – Use of 300 Mbps between Brazil and Miami (WHREN-LILA) • Access Links – – – – 155 Mbps leased SDH circuits except for Uruguay 34 Mbps Colombia 45 Mbps Ecuador 45 Mbps • Central American countries connected thru Miami RedCLARA 1.5 July 2010 STM-4 1 Gbps STM-4 STM-4 10 Gbps STM-4 Technical Description RedCLARA 1.5 • Backbone: – 622 Mbps leased SDH circuits • Brazil-Chile-Panama-Spain – Mostly submarine cable usage • Access Links – 155 Mbps leased SDH circuits • One optical 2.5 Gbps link connecting Guatemala and El Salvador • 1 Gbps links to the US provided by Brazil and IRNC2 Project (Americas Light - NSF) Terrestrial FO: Creating Synergy with other Projects I • Brazil’s RNP, using US$ 10M funding from FINEP (Brazil), is supporting acquisition of dark fiber and optical equipment for Mercosur Countries (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay) • Additional funding is being provided by Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay for these projects. Terrestrial FO: Creating Synergy with other Projects II Terrestrial FO: • The Pierre Auger Southern Cosmic Ray Observatory located south of Mendoza needed connection to InnovaRed (new network in Argentina) • EC-FP6’s Auger Access + RNP + InnovaRed + Silica Networks + CLARA built the whole Santiago-Buenos Aires backbone and fiber to Malargüe The Auger Access Project • The Observatory is located in Malargüe, 400 km south of Mendoza in the Andes mountains Santiago • Connect the Auger Observatory to InnovaRed (Argentina) and RedCLARA • Carried out in conjunction with building out the InnovaRed northern backbone Córdova Rosario Mendoza Malargüe Buenos Aires Terrestrial FO: Synergy along the Santiago-Lima route 566Kms 333Kms Larga Distancia: 1373Kms Tramo Local: 115Kms 474Kms RedCLARA1.75 December 2010 Tapachula Antofagasta Porto Alegre Current and developing Large Science Projects in LA EXPReS: e-VLBI Integrates VLBI around the World TIGO: the Chilean node • Geodesic Observatory of Very Long Base Interferometry (VLBI) • Several observatories around the world are used (Europe, USA, Japan) • Chilean Node located in the South of Chile is connected to the World thru REUNA and RedCLARA ESO – Cerro Paranal The Very Large Telescope (VLT) • UT 1 (Antu) – May 1998 • UT 2 (Kueyen) – March 1999 • UT 3 (Melipal) – January 2000 • UT 4 (Yepun) – September 2000 The EVALSO Project • Paranal Observatory is located 130 Km South of Antofagasta in Chile • To instal Optical Fibre from Cerro Paranal to Antofagasta and connect there with REUNA and RedCLARA • Purpose, to develop new modes of observation The Pierre Auger Southern Cosmic Ray Observatory • Total Surface ~ 3000 Km2 • A network of 160 detectors separated 1,5 km among them • 24 telescopes in 4 buildings Malargüe 50 km The 6 Telescopes (30°x30°) The E-ELT Project • European Extremely Large Telescope • To be built at Cerro Armazones in Chile (close to Antofagasta) • 42 m mirror • Building start dates will be defined at the end of 2010 The ALMA Project • System of 64 Antennas for Radio Astronomy • In deployment at Chajnantor Chile • Begins operation in 2011 • Throuput of data over 1Tbps per antenna per day The LSST Observatory • In construction at Cerro Pachón (Chile) • Surveys the Sky twice a week • Over 800 high quality images per day • It will be used to create a 3D map of the Universe Management of Response to Natural Disasters • CATHALAC in agreement with UNOOSA • Integrated to UN-SPIDER • To implement a regional surveillance and response system to natural disasters • Several types of data: Seismic, Tropical Storms, Climate, etc Biodiversity • “Species Link” (Brazil) and other databases • “La Selva" and other biological observation stations (Costa Rica) • Oceans: Tropical and Subtropical Western South Atlantic (WSAOBIS) Other scientific and cultural network drivers in LA e2e Circuit (Lightpath) usage for high-end users • The first international 10G link between LA (Brazil) and the US was inaugurated in July, 2009, with a lightpath demo involving the digital cinema community with the transmission of compressed 4K digital média (400 Mbps) and uncompressed HD videoconferencing (900 Mbps) between the FILE 4K event in São Paulo, UCSD (US) and Keio University (JP) • Regular e-science lightpath usage expected in support of Earth observation, Meteorology and Climatology, HEP, eVLBI and Dark Energy Survey communities • Presently, about 25% of the total international Brazilian capacity of 20G is being used for routed IP traffic – the remainder is currently available for lightpath use.
