[E3Dnet] E3D ring w/o FI & SE local loops / sites

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. /Lars -- Lars Fischer - Strategy & Policy, NORDUnet <lars(a)nordu.net>, +45 2288 1729, @lpfischer
