This document summarizes the fibre footprint and research infrastructure connections in the Czech Republic. It discusses the Czech roadmap for large research infrastructures and lists several major projects. It also describes CESNET's dark fibre facility, which provides advanced photonic services and connections to various research institutions across the country using DWDM deployment on leased fibre.
The document discusses strategy and innovation in Customer Empowered Fibre (CEF) networks. It describes how CEF networks are used as test beds for research and development by the research and education community. It provides examples of contributions to development, such as public funding and use of dark fibers, and discusses challenges around increasing revenue streams and achieving cost savings. Specific initiatives are summarized, such as the ROWANet regional dark fiber network in Scotland and using CEF networks to provide time and frequency dissemination for improving nuclear power plant safety.

This document provides an overview of CESNET, a non-profit organization in the Czech Republic that operates the national research and education network. CESNET was established in 1996 by Czech universities and the Academy of Sciences to support science and research through developing and operating the national network. It also conducts research on advanced networking technologies. In 2011, CESNET launched two new projects to transform into a comprehensive e-infrastructure, providing network connectivity, computing resources, data storage, collaboration tools, and other services to support the research community.
This document summarizes a presentation on fibre spectrum sharing for research and development networks. It discusses using single fibres bidirectionally to save costs, deploying reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers to transmit 100G over these links. It also covers using spectrum to support real-time applications and distribute precise time and frequency over fibre, as well as expanding capacity through new transmission technologies in the L-band and beyond.
This document summarizes Jan Radil's presentation at the CEF Networks 2014 workshop. Some key points from the presentation include:
- It questions whether Europe's increasingly strict emissions regulations for diesel vehicles have actually been effective in reducing NOx levels as intended.
- It raises concerns about whether networks are being over-engineered with new technologies like 100G and 400G that have limited reach and drive up costs, when legacy technologies may still meet current needs.
- It encourages considering technologies and upgrades more rationally and critically to avoid wasting money or resources.
