All,
on 23 October we have a status meeting with EISCAT. One of the
outstanding issues is that we should build a ring, delivering IP service
to Skibotn, by summer 2019, while the two sites at Karesuando and
Kaiseniemi will only be build in 2020.
As there will likely be nothing at the sites (no buildings, no power, no
opportunity to deploy the local loop fibre) by summer 2019, we will have
to initially bypass the two sites.
BJ tells me that for Kaiseniemi, this can be done at the Kiruna pop.
Can you confirm this, BJ?
For Karesuando, I have info so far. The Sodankylä - Skibotn link pass
through the sites, with no PoP or ROADM along the way. Matti, Jani - is
there a way to complete the Sodankylä - Skibotn link without the
Karesuando site and the local loop fiber to the site?
As indicated, it would be best not to have this as an unknown for the 23
October meeting.

(resent; there was some list error so it was not processed correctly -
Lars)
Attached you can find a short status report from our pipe lay in
Skibotn, before the video meeting tomorrow.
Slide 1:
The first slide shows where we are right now, and you can see the
excavator close to outrigger W2. During this week everything that can be
done in 2018 will be completed as we do not have road access to
outriggers NW1, NW2 and NW3 yet. This will be done early 2019 as far as
I understand.
Slide 2:
Second slide shows pipes, bending 90 degrees into the culvert close to
main Eiscat antenna site.
Slide 3:
Last slide is a drone picture I got from Johan Svensson at Eiscat today.
It was taken thursday last week, and as you can see, they have now cut
and removed all trees on the main antenna site.
Best regards

Just a quick reminder that we set ourselves a deadline to confirm the
cost of the optical transport for EISCAT-3D by end October.
Can you each of SUNET, UNINETT, and FUNET - now that the fibre path is
confirmed - review the cost estimates given previously, and confirm that
the estimates are still valid. We need this cost for the costing and
contracting w/ EISCAT.
Thanks,
/Lars
