3. Overall Goal Demonstrate an interactive workspace between Ventspils University College (VeA) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). iSpace Implementing an iRoom at VeA Link Establishing a high speed direct link between KTH and VeA

4. iSpace

5. iSpace is a high-technology room that facilitates group meetings and enables interactive distance learning. iSpace is a high-technology room that facilitates group meetings and enables interactive distance learning. Design: Design: –Remote lectures: VeA receives a lecture VeA receives a lecture VeA hosts a lecture VeA hosts a lecture –Remote group meetings: With the use of iROS (interactive room operating system), far apart scientists will find themselves as colleagues working in the same room. With the use of iROS (interactive room operating system), far apart scientists will find themselves as colleagues working in the same room. iSpace

6. Tests at KTH: Tests at KTH: –Step1: Purchase required equipment Sound System: Amplifier, Mixer, Speakers, Microphones Sound System: Amplifier, Mixer, Speakers, Microphones LAN: Wireless Access Point, Switch LAN: Wireless Access Point, Switch Furniture: Whiteboard, Curtains Furniture: Whiteboard, Curtains –Step2: Reserve the iLounge –Step3: Perform test of all possible scenarios No public IP address No public IP address One public IP address One public IP address More than one public IP address More than one public IP address iSpace

16. Link

17. To establish: - a radio link between VeA (Ventspils University College) and Ventspils Nafta in Latvia - a high speed fiber link between Ventspils Nafta and Fårösund (Gotland, Sweden) - a connection between Fårösund and Kista Link Assignment

18. Ventspils Ventspils Nafta Fårösund Utö Stockholm 26 GHz Radio Link + High data rate (155 Mbit/s) + Stable connection - Expensive - License required Radio Link VeA – Ventspils Nafta Distance 7 Km Link Overview

19. Our choice 5,4 GHz Radio Link + License free frequency + Cheap equipment - Moderate data rate (up to 36 Mbit/s) - Limited range - Less stable than the 26 GHz solution Radio Link Solution VeA – Ventspils Nafta 7 Km

20. Tsunami MP11/a 24 Mbit/s 45 cm Parabolic antenna 20 dBm => 1 W output

21. Ventspils Ventspils Nafta Fårösund Utö Stockholm SDH Fiber Link Media Converter + Cheap equipment - Relatively low bit rate, 100 Mbit/s - Not upgradeable Fiber Link Ventspils Nafta – Fårösund Distance 175 Km Reduction 33 dB

22. CWDM Fiber Link + High data rate + Relatively cheap equipment - Cannot handle long distances without amplifier - Requires more bandwidth because of wide spectra Fiber Link Ventspils Nafta – Fårösund

23. DWDM Fiber Link + High data rate, 2,5 Gbit/s + Upgradeable to at least 10 Gbit/s - Expensive Our choice Fiber Link Solution Ventspils Nafta – Fårösund

24. Public Procurement Requirements Handle a distance of 175 km Handle a distance of 175 km reduction of 34 dB reduction of 34 dB 100 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s 3 Weeks delivery time 3 Weeks delivery time Link

25. Public Procurement The Companies are Seven Levels Consultants CWDM, 100 Mbit/s Seven Levels Consultants CWDM, 100 Mbit/s Wavium SDH, 100 Mbit/s Wavium SDH, 100 Mbit/s Microlink Media converter 100 Mbit/s Microlink Media converter 100 Mbit/s Lumentis DWDM, 2,5 Gbit/s Lumentis DWDM, 2,5 Gbit/s Link Our choice

26. Mentis M301 2,5 Gbit/s DWDM technology Full management Link

27. Ventspils Ventspils Nafta Fårösund Utö Stockholm CWDM Fiber Link + High data rate + Relatively cheap equipment - Cannot handle long distances without amplifier - Require more bandwidth because of wide spectra Fiber Link Solution Fårösund – Utö – Kista Our choice Distance 149 Km Reduction 29 dB Distance 81 Km Reduction 28 dB

28. Mentis M101 1 Gbit/s CWDM technology Full management Link

29. Installation Video Link Still to be done Installation at Fårösund Utö Test and configure the whole fiber link

30. Extraordinary Circumstances Dependencies on external decisions Dependencies on external decisions Internal dependencies Internal dependencies Every step towards reaching the goal was considered a success Every step towards reaching the goal was considered a success

31. As of Today Success! Success! –Overall goal reached –iSpace goal reached –The link will with a very high probability be operational before summer 2004

32. For the Future Do the final installations of the fiber link Do the final installations of the fiber link Establish a long term relationship between VeA and KTH Establish a long term relationship between VeA and KTH Expand the network further east Expand the network further east
