1. TEIN2 Project

Connecting Asian countries of ASEM, and to Europe for promotion of research and development.

Harmonize development of domestic research and education networks to TEIN2 and other international networks.

Multi-year project in February 2004 - December 2007 with 3 million ecu per year from Europe to cover 80% or less with the rest to be covered by Asia.

DANTE is carrying on the study now.

2. ASEM Countries: Asia

ASEAN: Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam

CJK: China, Japan, Korea

3. Backbones

(1) Inter-Continental Link could use the existing links (Europe to JP, HK, or CN) with 2.5 Gbps, more or expand the current link of France-Korea to 1 Gbps or more, or install a new link.

(2) Intra-Asia Backbone

Connect North Asia Cluster of China-Hong Kong-Japan-Korea to Southeast Asia Cluster of Malaysia-Singapore-Thailand with 1 Gbps or more.

4. Link for Each Developing Country

Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand,and Vietnam may connect to the proposedcluster (hub) or to one of the North Asiaclusters (CN, HK, JP, KR) at 45~155 Mbps.

5. Remark

(1) We may support development of domestic

research and education network through

this project. Thus, good representation and

participation from these developing countries are

very important.

(2) We may add other countries in Southeast Asia

and/or South Asia by expanding the project scope

or by developing complementary projects.
