Update from Paradise:Advanced Networking in Hawaii
Home of the ALOHA system and protocol
Home of PACCOM, the Pacific Rim project that first connected Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand …
Hawaii’s Proud History
Hawaii-US Mainland Connectivity
Prior to 2001• DS3 market price
~ $2m / yr• OC-3 unavailable
at any price
2001 was A Very Good Year
Southern Cross Cable Network
Japan-U.S. Cable Network
Hawaii at a Glance Incumbent telco (Verizon)
with 100% digital switching Two competitive facilities-
based telcos Vibrant ISP marketplace >1/2 of population on-line Every Public School
Connected Extremely high Cable TV
penetration - with VoD Digital wireless TV on Oahu
•
DSL and Cable Modem services compete for broadband market, with fixed wireless on its way
Two major providers of on-island fiber facilities
Two (going on three?) inter-island fiber systems
Access to JUSCN, SCCN and TPC5
Who Peers IN Hawaii PMRF
Mauna Kea Observatories
Maui Supercomputer,Haleakala Observatories
University of HawaiiIntl Pacific Research Center
ALL Public Higher Education International Scientific Assets:
Mauna Kea, Haleakala, Maui Supercomputer…
ALL Public K12 Education State and County Governments Most ISPs (Tier 1 Problematic) US Dept of Defense Research &
Engineering (DREN)
How We Peer in Hawaii TODAY
PMRF

Scientific Drivers
Biggest research university within 2000 miles:-)
Mauna Kea - the best observatory site in the world
Maui Supercomputer, Haleakala Observatories & the US DoD
Application Drivers
Astronomy Bioinformatics Climate change Environmental monitoring & modeling
(climate, ocean, geosciences, species) Telehealth Distance learning
University of Hawaii:10 campuses & 5 centers on 6 islands
Next Generation Distance Learning System
25 sites in 15 locations on 6 islands Shares the institutional IP network, OC3 + No central switching -- the network is the hub MPEG2-over-IP for high-quality video RAT multicast audio for continuous
“open-mic” audio among all sites in a session Any site can see any other site IP Multicast for efficient use of bandwidth IP QoS to ensure priority of video Custom application manages network services In production January 2002!
Finally, remember these?
An opportunity for inclusiveness?
