Connecting Academic Networks in
China and Europe

ORIENT project provides for the first time a
direct Internet connection dedicated solely
to the research and education community of
Europe and China (2.5Gbps, 2007~2010).
Connecting Academic Networks in
China and Europe

ORIENTplus is daughter project of ORIENT.
Due to new tender result, the PoP in Europe
has been moved from Copenhagen to
London in Jan.2012.

Link Usage
Over 25 substantial scientific and educational
collaborative projects and programmes are
using the ORIENT/ORIENTplus route:
 CERN Collaboration: LHC project (IHEPIN2P3), South East University with CERN
 Shanghai Astronomical Observatory – JIVE
 INFN-ARGO YBJ
 EMBnet
 EUChinaGrid
 GEONETCast- EUMETSAT
 1000 Genomes Project

experiments, etc.
CERN Collaborations


Various HEP applications involving the IHEP and
South East University Nanjing in research with
CERN and other European sites at data speeds
of up to 1 Gbps
LHC collaboration: It is notable that IHEP has
been seen to have collaborations not only with
IN2P3 but also with INFN (Italy), DKFZ
(Germany)
IHEP-LHC

The graph below (courtesy of RENATER) shows
the between IHEP and IN2P3. This single
collaboration can be seen to have a background
of 100-300Mbps and peaks of 400-500Mbps.
ShAO – eVLBI



VLBI - Very Long Baseline Interferometry is a
technique that involves the collection of
simultaneous observations from multiple radio
telescopes. Data is then correlated to form very
sharp, high-definition images.
Today this data is transported across the world using
research and education networks.
The EXPReS project was a European Commission
co-funded initiative, committed to creating a
production eVLBI service both across Europe, but
also beyond. And JIVE project is allowing ShAO to
form part of its single giant virtual radio telescope
eVLBI programme at data speeds of up to 512 Mbps
Earthquake Rescue
Sichuan Earthquake in
May, 2008
Satellite images of
disaster region
transferred from JRC
(Italy) to RSGS (China)
The images are used to
identify the extent of the
earthquake’s impact and
to aid post-disaster
reconstruction.
Key Objectives of ORIENTplus


to upgrade the EU–China link capacity as
soon as achievable. Options include 2 x
2.5 Gbps, preferably on diverse routes, or
1 x 10 Gbps.
to ensure that the ORIENTplus
connectivity is used to greatest effect by
the EU and Chinese user communities
