Conveners
From Global to Local and Back: 2A
- Esther Robles Blazquez (RedIRIS)
Description
This session will make us wonder about the challenges to be able to build a global network where local, regional, national and continental network infrastructures form an easily accessed asset to set up end to end connectivity. While this strategic vision is based on assuming that capacity is no longer a problem, there are still some challenging areas that require innovation to deliver connectivity in order to be able to belong to this global research network. In this session we will have the opportunity to know more about two regions with a complex geography and lack of access to network infrastructure and how they are addressing this complexity.
We should not worry (too much) about network capacity for the next decade. Can R&E networking deliver a true global concept, in support of global research and education? From technology to governance, let’s focus on challenges and potential directions for global networking.
The presentation will showcase the effectiveness and capability of innovating around the conventional LTE as a last mile technology which has enabled RENU to overcome connectivity
difficulties in underprivileged, unconnected and underserved areas. The presentation will showcase the success story of 12 health centers located at the heart of Lake Victoria on Kalangala
Island. The presentation...
The southernmost area of Chile has high potential for global scientific research, especially in climate change, subantarctic and ecological issues. Furthermore, it is the gateway to the International Antarctic Programs of more than 20 countries and is projected as a hub for satellite ground stations. However, this region lacked connection with GREN. REUNA with the Ministry of Science of Chile...
