The Works of DANTE - Issue 3

DANTE Commits to SEEFIRE Project

DANTE joins ten other partners in the SEEFIRE project (South-East Europe Fibre Infrastructure for Research and Education), which launched on 1 March 2005. Building on the success of the SEEREN network, SEEFIRE will study the options for the deployment of dark fibre and the management of optical transmission by NRENs in the region. Placing a specific emphasis on the Western Balkan Countries, it will also look at the possible strategies for the development of research and education networking in the area.
The project is co-ordinated by TERENA, with the ultimate aim of addressing the digital divide that affects many countries in South East Europe.

DANTE will be providing specific advice on network procurement and financing, and is also a member of the SEEFIRE steering committee. Please visit the SEEFIRE website (www.seefire.org) for further details.
