What do we need in Denmark?
Our own optical infrastructure10Gbps production networkλ-connections for research projects (nationally and internationally)λ-connections for separate parts of one institutionHopefully user-controlled λ-network provisioning (in a few years)

The User Community
University reform in 2006/07 reducing 25 institutions to 10But this left ”all” Universities with buildings in ”all” citiesOther research institutions than UniversitiesPotentially 120 addresses More than 100.000 prople have Forskningsnettet as their daily Internet supplier

First step:Call for tender for WAN connections
Framework contracts with multiple vendors for:Dark Fibre for the National Ring infrastructureDark Fibre for Access ConnectionsTransmission capacity (100Mbps, 1Gbps, 10Gbps, 40Gbps, …)
The actual procurement is done in a ”mini-competition” among suppliers qualified in the framework contracts

2nd step:Mini-competition for the National Ring
Among the 3 suppliers on the framework contracts (GC, Telia, Nianet)Evaluation criteria favoring the shortest possible distanceContract entered with Global Connect A/S in December 2007

The acquired fibre ring1154km length8 OADM sites11 ILA sitesDistance between any part of two fibre sections/spans: >5mAttenuation <0.2dB/km @1550nmPMD < 0.2 ps/√km (currently a problem)
Delivery not yet completed!Nevertheless, the fibre ring measurements are a preprequsite for the equipment tender

3rd step:Pre-qualification for DWDM equipment
suppliersAnnounced 8th February 2008≥40 x 10Gbps platformEoI due 11th March 2008
Forskningsnet konferencen 2007
A lot of interest…
Forskningsnet konferencen 2007
Suppliers selected for the closed call for tender for DWDM equipment
NortelAlcatel-LucentCienaNokiaSiemensConscia (Cisco)
Selected on the basis of references, technical abilities, R&D efforts and financial capacity- but not on actual prices

4th step: RFQ and Tender
1200 km without regenerationExpandable and upgradable platformOption for a Metro solutionGreat help from local people as well asJanne Kanner from Funet,Afrodite Sevasti, GRNET and theTERENA community in generalIssued 28th March 2008Deadline 8th May 2008
Forskningsnet konferencen 2007
5th step: Negotiation process
In May and June 2008Reducing the number of suppliers from 5 to 2 and ultimately to 1Contract signing envisaged on 7th July 2008
Forskningsnet konferencen 2007
6th step: Delivery and commissioning
Delivery starts with some documentation in July
and ends withAcceptance test is to be passed on 15th October 2008Commissioning test to be passed in November 2008.

7th step: Launch Event
At the Forskningsnet conference in Kolding on the 11th November 2008You are all invited!

8th step: Operation and enjoyment
Bringing Lambdas into DenmarkParticipating in user-controlled Lambda provisioning initiativesOperations in cooperation with NORDUnet/NUNOC (hopefully)
Forskningsnet konferencen 2007
Lessons learned (so far)
Twisting EU tendering rules to allow for a negotiation process becomes increasingly difficultYou have to do a fair bit of marketing towards the vendorsPMD values below 0.2 ps/√km are not trivial in the real world.
