Description
The GÉANT network in 2018 had 23 European dark fibre routes, with an average annual lease cost per route of €110k at €0.234 per metre per annum. Most of the underpinning agreements for the network expire in 2020–21 with up to 2 years extension options. The GN4-3N project provides an opportunity to reconsider GÉANT’s fibre topology and at the same time plan the renewal of its optical platform.
