Knowledge Network-Exploiting
California’s Experience in Fiber-based
Research and Education Networking
 Why create knowledge network
 CENIC as provider of knowledge network in
California
 Importance of high speed networking to
research
 Why separate, fiber-based network outside of
normal telecommunications services is desirable
for knowledge networks
 Summary

Economic Impact of CA Public Education
“California’s public education systems not only
create vital educational opportunities that help
improve the quality of life for all Californians,
they also represent the economic engine that
keeps California thriving and globally
competitive.”
-- CCC Chancellor Diane Woodruff

Economic Impact of CA Public Education
 A strong economy needs a strong education
community — examples include:
 UC: critical to California’s leading industries
(patents, research, start-ups)
 CSU: 45% of California’s computer and electronics
engineers
 CCC: 300,000 engineering/industrial students each
year, 200,000 IT students
 K12: Supplies incoming students to ALL the above

Knowledge Network Empowering
Education in California
 Broadband networking strengthens California
economy through empowering the CA educational
community:
 California K-12 System-over 1000 districts and 8000
schools
 California’s Community Colleges-110 colleges
 California State University-23 campuses
 University of California-10 campuses
 Private and Independent universities (e.g., Caltech,
Stanford, USC, etc.)

Knowledge Network
 Should be looked at as infrastructure, similar to
power
 Critical component for R&E today-and
therefore critical to future economy

CENIC
 Nonprofit, formed in 1997 by CA R&E
community to exploit economies of scale in
networking and offer pre commercial services
 Originally 9 UC campuses, 3 CSU campuses,
Caltech, Stanford, and USC
 Now, all of CA K-20 public educational
institutions, 3 original privates, Naval
Postgraduate, USD, USF, NASA Ames, National
U, Pepperdine, Wharton West etc.
 Governed by & answerable to K-20 segments

CENIC’s Mission and Goals-focused
and narrow
 Mission:
“…to develop, deploy and operate leading edge networkbased services and to facilitate and coordinate their use for
the research and education community to advance learning
and innovation”
 Goals:
 Provide competitive advantage in global marketplace to
education and research communities
 Provide opportunities for innovation in teaching, learning
and research through use of the network.

CENIC Funding Overview
 National Science Foundation Grant-for some
one-start up funds
 Members pay fees for on going costs and costs
for refreshing the network to maintain
technology currency
 When K-12 schools and 2 year community
colleges added in 2000, restructured fees

California State and Federal
Participation
 No direct funding from State
 Public college and university (State) budgets
include funding for networking
 Relatively small amounts of Federal funding
(via National Science Foundation grants) for
international connectivity)

 Though no direct State funding,
customers/members include all public/State
institutions

colleges, 4 year public colleges and 4 year
public research Universities. Fees pay for
unlimited use.
 Each pays for cost to connect from
school/campus site to backbone (circuit or fiber
plus equipment)
 Some optional services-e.g., video
teleconferencing paid for by those who use it

Why Very High Speed Networking
is Critical
 Attract faculty/researchers
 Compete and participate in international
science/research
 Satisfy needs of researchers/facilitate
collaboration
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630
(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Why Owned Fiber Networks for
R&E
 Economies in offering multiple high speed
networks, via Dense Wave Division Multiplexing
(DWDM)
 Ability to offer dedicated networking to
individual researchers at very low, marginal
cost, compared to pricing of common
telecommunications carriers

(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Need to Serve Multiplicity of Needs
 Fiber supported our needs to serve a wide range of uses,
from K-12 to leading network researchers
 Allows for the coexistence of multiple independent
network tiers (using separate light waves or lambdas)

Why CENIC Acquired Fiber-2001
 Cost containment-expenditures on TeleCo
circuits linear
 Responsiveness
 Ability to meet different needs/flexibility
 Ability to provision large amounts of capacity for
short periods of time.
 Ability to provision capacity upon little notice
 Allow/support the unplanned/unthinkable

Owned Fiber Networks Provide
Freedom
 Traditional network and organizational
processes are fixed and immobile, limiting the
ability for users or customers to innovate and
create new custom solutions.
 Owned fiber is the solution.
 Grids and cyber-infrastructure are the first
steps in this direction of user control and
management in the research community.

CENIC Fiber in CA
 Dot com boom resulted in already installed
fiber being available for sale to CENIC
 CENIC has built fiber in addition to installed
fiber-generally for relatively short distances,
but up to 100 miles in one case
 Fiber is either installed on existing telcom or
power poles, in existing telecom conduit or in
newly installed duct
CENIC • 5757 Plaza Dr. Ste 205 Cypress, CA 90630
(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Right of Ways and Permitting
 In California, telecommunications companies
have access to power poles. CENIC-acquired
and -installed fiber obtained via competitive
local exchange carriers
 CalTrans (Dept of Highways) has new mandate
to assist broadband deployment
 In CA, are various entities having permitting
jurisdictions-can slow down projects

Building Better High Speed
Networking Tools for Higher Ed
 Maintaining leadership in technology
 Promotes innovation – Cyber infrastructure
 Measures pre-eminence in higher ed among
nations.
 Creates new “norms of practice and rules,
incentives, and constraints that shape individual
and collective action”-NSF, Chief Arden Bement
Jr
