High-Speed Networks

• University of Chile (UChile)- First connection to Internet in Latin America (early 80s) - First ATM Campus Network in Latin America (1994)- Strong R&D Effort: AccessNova Program (since 1995) AN-FONDEF Research Projects (1997-2000, 2001-2003) AN-FDI Incubation Projects (1998-2000, 2001-2003)

•REUNA (National University Network)- ISP for Chilean universities WAN (Reuna-1, early 90s) - High-Speed Chilean universities WAN (Reuna-2, 1998)- High-Speed international research WAN (Internet-2, 2000)

State of development

1. Pampa La Bola- First prototype of antenna is installed

- Satellite link with Santiago 2. San Pedro

-Satellite link with Santiago

3. Santiago- Connection with AccessNova-UChile over Telefonica Mundo’s Network

4. Tokyo- Connection with NTT Labs over Internet2 via USA (GEMNET-Abiline-Ampath-REUNA)


I2 Presentation

Future Challenges

NetworkingTo Connect 4 points like they were on the same local network with at least 10 Mbps

ComputingTo develop the software to control the telescope array and to handle the data collection, storage and remote access

CommunicationsHigh-speed data transmission and switching (fully optical network)
