3. 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 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.

4. 2. ASEM Countries: Asia
ASEAN: Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam
CJK: China, Japan, Korea

5. 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.

6. 4. Link for Each Developing Country
Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand,
and Vietnam may connect to the proposed
cluster (hub) or to one of the North Asia
clusters (CN, HK, JP, KR) at 45~155 Mbps.

7. 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.
