5 APG is up and running Pg 5 Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) was launched in November 2016, 100Gbps capable and capacity of 54.8Tbps. Consortium members include NTT, China Telecom, China Unicom, Chunghwa Telecom, KT Corporation, StarHub, LG Uplus, China Mobile, Viettel, Vietnam Telecom International, Global Transit, Facebook and TIME dotcom.

6 Asia Pac Subsea capacity: First semester 2017 is great already 2016 has seen the activation of the US-Japan FASTER cable (60Tbs) the Singapore-Malaysia-Oman-UAE BBG (Bay of Bengal) cable the long awaited SEAMEWE-5 The intra Asia s APG. First half of 2017 has already seen some major cables coming on-line MCP cable : Malaysia Cambodia-Thailand with 1.5 Tbps initially, upgradable up to 30Tbps launched in May. Partners are Cambodian provider Telcotech (owned by Ezecom), Telekom Malaysia, Symphony and DTAC. Golden opportunity for R&E in the region. TGA (Tasmania Global Access) NZ-Australia : 2 pairs, 20Tbps: March 2017 ATISA: launched May 2017; 4Tbps capacity: Guam to Northern Marianas AAE-1 to Europe with 40Tbps capacity in July 2017 SEA-US on the US-Hawaii-Guam-Philippines-Indonesia: delayed to Q3 Pg 6

7 AARnet to become co-owner on Indigo! The Indigo cable combines the previous APX-West (Perth- Singapore) and APX-Central (Perth Sydney) projects. The Indigo consortium comprises Google, Singtel, Telstra, AARNet, Indonesia s Indosat Ooredoo, Superloop and AARNet Will be supplied by Nokia s Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN), RFS: mid 2019 Based on a two-fibre pair open cable design with spectrum-sharing technology. This will give members the ability to independently proceed with systems as upgrades. Each of the two fibre pairs will have a capacity of 18Tbps, with future increases possible. AARnet s spectrum ownership will give it a staggering potential of 3Tbps between Australia and Singapore!! An APAN member owns Tbps of subsea cable capacity Waw, awesome Congratulations, AARNet! Pg 7

8 New Transpacific cables coming SEA-US Indonesia - Philippines US via Guam and Hawaii Design Capacity: 20Tbps RFS: was supposed to be end 2016; came on-line onaugust 16 th 2017 NCP: New Cross Pacific Will connect China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States Design capacity; 81.9Tbps; Micosoft is a partner Supplier: TE Subcom, RFS: mid 2018 PLCN: Pacific Light Cable Network direct HK-USA cable. 5 pair, 120Tbps! Will become reality : Google and Facebook invest RFS : mid 2018 HAWAIKI: Australia Hawaii- US West Coast -supplier TE Subcom, 30Tbps design capacity RFS mid First financing tranche received. Work started. Pg 8

9 More projects materializing ASC (Australia Singapore Cable): linking Perth is a go. Vocus signed an agreement signed with Alcatel in december 2016; Singapore landing rights secured. RFS date: august 2018, 30Tbps. AARnet owns capacity! HK-G: Hong Kong Guam: 48Tbps RFS Q2020 connects to SEA-US Manatua: linking the Pacific Islands of Niue, Samoa, the Cook Islands and French Polynesia. RFS end 2018 HAWAIKI: American Samoa, New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga plus Australia, NZ, Hawaii, Oregon: RFS mid 2018 AWE: Australia (Perth) to Djibouti: RFS Q (financing?) NEXT : Southern Cross project 60Tbps Australia-NZ-USA. Owned by Telecom NZ (50%), Singtel-Optus (40%) and Verizon (10%) ; will interconnect with existing Southern Cross cables. RFS end 2019 MYTHIC: Myanmar-Malaysia-Thailand 20Tbps cap RFS mid 2018?? SEAX-1: Singapore-Indonesia-Malaysia, 24 pairs, 9.6Tbps RFS Q SEAX-2: Singapore- Indonesia - Guam 10Tbps (financing?) MOANA cable: NZ to Hawaii via Samoa, 20Tbps, RFS 2018 TRIDENT-1: Singapore-Indonesia-Australia (Perth); 28Tbps RFS Q2 2018?? Pg 9

10 Elsewhere in the world Monet cable: 60Tbps, three pairs, Brazil to Forida: RFS Q Seabras-1: Brazil to New Jersey: RFS Q MAREA: transatlantic, Virginia Beach to Bilbao, Spain; led by Microsoft and Facbook; 160Tbps capacity!! RFS Q SACS : Angola to Brazil where it will connect to Monet: Q SAIL: Kribi (Cameroon) to Fortaleza (Brazil), 32Tbps. China Unicom is Partner. CC: China Chile crossing the Pacific. Three possible routes being evaluated. Pg 10

11 Petabit level transoceanic cables in the early 2020s? With MAREA capacity of 160Tbps coming end of 2017 the horizon of the late 2020 s seems passé. Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks and Nokia Bell Labs have achieved 65 Tbps transmission capacity over a 6,600 km single mode fiber using Bell Labs Probabilistic Constellation Shaping (PCS) technology with a new modulation technique to maximize the distance and capacity of high-speed transmission in optical networks. In the meantime Aqua Comms has completed a trial of Ciena s WaveLogic 3 Extreme transmission technology on their AEConnect which connects NY to London via Dublin. This confirmed that Ciena s 150 Gbps per wavelength 8QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) technology can already increase most up to date capacity by 50%. Pg 11

12 2016 and 2017 are banner years for new APAN international capacity coming online With two 100Gbps for Japan,, two for Australia, one for South Korea and one for Singapore, transpacific REN 100Gbps circutsi now total six! NICT and NII are now connected at 10Gbps to Singapore Korea KOREN is now connected at 10Gbps to Singapore Singapore s SinGAREN connects 10Gbps with Europe Géant India NKN is connected at 10Gbps to Europe and to the USA and also to Singapore. LEARN Sri Lanka activated a 1Gbps to Singapore October 2017: RFS for 100Gbps Singapore Hong Kong Japan. The order was placed early july. Please advise as I might be missing some recent upgrades. Pg 12

13 The rise of international 100Gbps in APAN January 2014: 100Gbps challenge by Yves Poppe at APAN37 in Bandung, Indonesia: Connect Asia to America at 100GBps in time for SC14 in New Orleans in november. GLIF 2014, Queenstown, NZ: 100Gbps demo with US West-Coast. SC14 New Orleans: A*STAR and SinAREN demonstrate 100Gbps connectivity and applications between Singapore and New Orleans. September 2015: first operational transpacific 100Gbps R&E connection, cost shared between Singapore internet2. Today: six 100Gbps transpacific APAN member connections: Japan (2), Australia (2), Korea (1), Singapore (1) Coming in october 2017: first intra-asia APAN 100Gbps connectivity with the activation of the Singapore- Hong Kong Japan circuit. Next on the agenda: 100Gbps to Europe with Pg 13

14 Collaboration, key to Economic Prosperity Super Computing simulation and analysis have become a source of discovery. Areas such as Genomics and personalized medicine require ultra high security and reliability, fast data replication and disaster recovery. Exascale computing is seen as the next Frontier with the USA, Europe, Japan and China allocating each in excess of one billion US$ to be the first to reach this milestone by the early 2020 s. The latest TOP500 list is led by China s with a 97 petaflop machine. To remain relevant to the exascale challenge, Singapore would like to invite APAN members to build the network infrastructure to support HPC centres in the region to interconnect with each other at higher speeds and offer infrastructure that supports HPC services and beyond based on an Asia Research Platform modelled on California s PRP using the ScienceDMZ concept and DTN s (Data Transfer Nodes). Pg 14

15 Beyond Networking: Asia Research Platform Progress and results in all disciplines depend on improved communications, collaboration and remote access to computing facilities, huge data files and to shared scientific instruments. The vast majority of Researchers are not ad hoc communications specialists and do not care about VLAN s or fine tuning GridFTP or Globus throughput rates. They want an easy API to access compute, data or instruments securely, efficiently, wherever they are located. The next gen infrastructure will be a Platform facilitating research at the speed of thought. Refer to ARP presentation given at the HPC workshop Plan on attending the ARP conference at APAN45 next March
