High-level Regional Roundtable on Telecommunications Connectivity in Central AsiaAlmaty, Kazakhstan2-3 June 2014, Intercontinental Hotel
The Central Asian Research and Education Network
Current status of CARENFrom ancient Silk Road to high-speeddata highway
EC-funded project to establish high-capacity R&E network in Central AsiaThe CAREN network connects the
national research and education network offour Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan (KazRENA), Kyrgyrstan (KRENA), Tajikistan (TARENA) and Turkmenistan (TURENA)NRENs in CA countries as important vehicle for reaching Millennium Development Goals
Terrestrial fibre connections (155 Mbps connection to GEANT for Kazakhstanand Kyrgyzstan, 34 Mbps connections for Tajikistan and Turkmenistan)Serve 1 million users at over 200 universities and research institutes in the regionWith direct link to GÉANT and TEIN , CAREN provides Central Asia with a gateway to global collaborations in R&EThe second phase of CAREN Project has started from October 1, 2013 and it focus on applications development

Network development in a nutshell
Year Capacity Comment2010 3*E3 Hong Kong centric2012 2*E3,2*STM-1 3*Frankfurt, 1*Hong Kong2014 2*STM-1,2*STM-4 3*Frankfurt, 1*Hong Kong
• Users are universities and research institutions (academic)• Public procurement according the EU rules• Strict rules, fair and equal competition, communication in English• International Public Leased Circuits /IPLC/ services• Procurement time + service delivery time ~ 12 month• Managed service, NOC at Bishkek• Uplink provider is GEANT/DANTE at Frankfurt• Total circuit lengths 20,000+ km

CAREN network service in figures
Service level is improving over the yearsSpecial problem the lack of circuit resiliency (not yet available everywhere)Operation wise the network service is challenging sometimes

Important changes
New routes and better prices:2012: Vimpelcom over Kazakhstan and Russia2014:
– New routes avoid Uzbekistan– ELCAT – interconnecting Tajikistan to China; and connecting
Bishkek– Turkmen Telecom and Kazakh Telecom new interconnection
