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

All,
I updated the E3D mailing list. The members now are as listed below.
Let me know if you should not be on the list, or if someone from you
organisation is missing from the list.

We had a brief discussion of this in the CTO Forum call today. We agreed
that, 10G or 100G, the design remains pretty much the same, and that
with modern DCI optical gear and small(ish) routers, the cost savings
from scaling down to 10G is quite limited.
We also agreed that we need to communicate this to E3D. To do so, we
need more detail on the network design, and we need to develop a cost
sheet. We agreed to do a NREN-only VC in the week after Easter. Please

There will be a dinner, and I think it would be useful to kick off the
discussion there. We can agree some homework ahead of the post-Easter
meeting so that we have costs in place.

Hello,
One thing we forgot to discuss last week was if we should ask for IRU or
"traditional" lease for the E3D fibers. I guess that since EISCAT wanted
no one-time-fees it is going to be traditional lease. What do you think?

All,
I did a quick look on the possibilities of having a radio link as OOB
etc the last miles. From Karesvanto "city" to the site, it looks like on
the attached picture (done with 25 meter antenna poles). I.e. it is in
practice impossible. Kaiseniemi is even worse, just a small 150 meter
high mountain in the way :-)
So this is not a practical solution.

All,
thanks again for participating in a productive meeting Fridays. Please
find my notes, along with BJ presentation, and my E3D lightning talk at
NTW17, in the following folder:

Comments, corrections, suggestions are of course welcome.

All,
thanks for a productive and pleasant meeting today. As agreed, I have created a mailing list
- EISCAT-3D network team <E3Dnet(a)lists.nordu.net>
The current members of the list are:
lars(a)nordu.net (Lars Fischer)
he(a)uninett.no (Håvard Eidnes)
teemu.kiviniemi(a)csc.fi (Teemu Kiviniemi)
frode.storvik(a)uninett.no (Frode Storvik)
einar.lillebrygfjeld(a)uninett.no (Einar Lillebrygfjeld)
bj(a)sunet.se (Börje Josefsson)
vidar.faltinsen(a)uninett.no (Vidar Faltinsen)
jani.myyry(a)csc.fi (Jani Myyry)
helge.stranden(a)uninett.no (Helge Stranden)
We are currently coordinating to have (I think) an optical and an IP engineer join for NORDUnet and for SUNET. I will add them as soon as we have picked who that is.
