I and over 95 members of the Janet community went on-line yesterday to participate in the second of our online briefings on the progress of the Janet6 project. Jeremy Sharp, Head of Strategic Technologies described how Janet6 has come successfully through the requirements gathering and procurement phases and is now in the roll-out phase.
This document describes the outcome of these activities, and the resulting design, technical specification and operational model of Janet6.
We are hoping to have another Janet6 online briefing event in September/October. Are there any particular areas you would like to be covered in this or future session?
Recordings from our 5 July online briefing can be found at: https://community.ja.net/groups/janet-events/article/janet6
The recording from this event is now available.
This is the second of a number of online events relating to Janet6 and provides the perfect opportunity to keep up to date with our progress to build the new generation of the Janet infrastructure.
Following stringent procurements, contracts have now been signed with two providers for the Janet6 infrastructure.
SSE Telecoms have been selected to provide the fibre for the infrastructure with Ciena chosen as supplier of the network equipment.
For further details, see the Janet6 project page.
On 28 March 2013, we reached a very significant milestone in the delivery of Janet6 which was the final formal acceptance. from SSET, of the Janet6 Core fibre and the fibre instrastructure to the regional network entry points.
On the week commencing 20 May we completed commissioning on the core of the network. We marked this occasion with a visit to Froxfield PoP:
