The TWAREN InitiativeA comprehensive, 6-year national development
plan formulated by the government to foster creativity and develop talents
Will cost an estimated US$75 billion starting 2003.
Serves as the infrastructure that enables new possibilities in R&D, global collaboration and learning, discoveries and innovation …
Serves as part of the mechanisms to train manpower, create jobs, spur economic growth and strengthen competitiveness.
4
Future Infrastructure Drives Today’s Research Agenda
The success story of the NSFnet is inspirational TWAREN will be a new all-optical network with
10 Gigabit Ethernet and DWDM technology at its core
A backbone of 40-100 Gbps will encircle 1000 km along Taiwan’s coastal areas
Connects universities and colleges as well as research institutions all throughout the island
5
Core Nodes in Science Parks
Four core nodes are strategically located at science parks to serve industrial R&D besides academic research
The NCHC, situated in Hsinchu, where semiconductor and electronic industries dominate the Park, already has a branch office down south. Will set up one more office in central Taiwan.

a research network ran by the NCHC.TANet – funded by the Ministry of Education, serv
es higher education and K-12 concernsASnet – supported by various sources, services r
esearchers in Academia Sinica and clientele outside the campus
International connectivity will be further expanded in a joint effort

General Applications
TWAREN will provide a high bandwidth, high-efficiency network to support research and development
At home, it serves as a far-reaching platform for research and learning
Going overseas, we will enhance connectivity to allow collaborative research, in e-Science and e-Learning
Language education is especially emphasized. English is a major focus.
