  1. RwEdNet PRESENTATION Coordinator, RwEdNet Eastern Cluster Design Workshop Hilton Hotel, 06 – 07 October 2008

  2. 1. RWEDNET Background • Genesis • Enhanced quality education and research to facilitate the attainment of the 2020 Vision and the UN MDG’s • Promises: • Greater connectivity over fiber optic within and outside the country • Ongoing backbone Infrastructure development GOVNET , Rwandatel, MTN, Electrogaz • Expected Results: Competitive prices for Internet Connectivity • New area of better Quality of Services at reduced operational cost and user charges

  3. 2. Strategic objectives for RWEDNET • Based on three following pillars: Infrastructure, Capacity Building and Value (Applications, services) Value Infrastructure Capacity Building

  4. 3. Strategic objectives of RWEDNET (cont’d) • 1. Accessing national telecom backbone through using Public Private Partnership approach • Output: Reliable Fiber backbone linking Rwednet members • 2.Enhancement of functionalities, performance and capacity building in Internetworking and other relevant areas of Internet Governance. • Output :technical and managerial expertise in area related to Internetworking • 3.Stimulate, foster and support collaboration and research among members institutions and external partners sharing the same vision

  5. 3.Strategic objectives of RWEDNET (cont’d) • Output: Development and promotion of Research and Education networking communities in and outside the country

  6. 4. Progress on Network backbone setup • Access to the existing fiber optic from Rwandatel (5 academic institutions + 2 research centers) • Access to Internet connectivity through New Artel satellite link (availability of Universal Access funds) • Ubuntunet Alliance Eastern Cluster (Cross Border connectivity + sub marine fiber )

  7. 4. Current RwEdNet Mapping

  8. 4. Current arrangement for sharing Internet connectivity • Rwandatel fiber link • USD 1,200 per month for all institutions (fiber link from each institution to Rwtel + fiber link between RwTel and New Artel) => RwEdNet has already paid for six months • New Artel Satellite Connectivity Price : USD 3,000 per Mbps per month • RURA to pay USD 2,500 per Mbps per month • Individual institutions to pay USD 500 per Mbps per month

  9. 5. Capacity Building Activities • - Hands ontraining in Sys. Admin. and Network management • - Technical assessment of ICT support services within member institutions • - Development of Strategic / Business Plan

  17. 11. IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION STRATEGIES The implementation of the national fiber optic backbone is underway and will extend access network to all academic and research institutions in the country. The main National Data Center and Data disaster recovery system will be located at RITA premises (Rwanda Information Technology Authority) – consideration to host RwEdNet servers as well. The national NOC will also be located at RITA – RwEdNet proposes to set up two NOCs on its own, one at NUR (Huye) and a second at KIST (Kigali) with a redundancy mechanism. RwEdNet business case suggests the creation of a pool of Network technicians to maintain the network and provide adequate services to member institutions on cost recovery basis Government will support the physical layer through a Public Private Partnership utility (subject to confirmation). RwEdNet will take care of the Layer three management up to the institution premises. The ownership and management of international connectivity over fiber (cross border and sub marine) is not yet clear at this point.

  18. 12. TIME FRAME Construction of the National Backbone (Oct 2008 – Nov 2009)

  19. 13. Way forward Finalize the design of the new RwEdNet network backbone with integration of new member institutions Finalize and Validate the strategic/business plan Recruitment of permanent staff(technical and administrative)
