Future Networks

Development of networking technologies in Russia, Armenia, Belarus and Ukraine is based on already deployed basic infrastructures. Other EECA countries are in different stages of telecommunication penetration and invest more in infrastructure deployment rather than new technologies.

The vastness of the territory of Russia gives a unique opportunity for large scale networking infrastructures, providing access to new services and next generation services for more than 10% of the Earth’s land. It calls for new communication media, new security challenges and trust infrastructures. Russian Government has already announced “Digital-TV” initiative to bring new digital service to every household in the country.

There are some hard reasons to raise the importance of EU-RU joint projects in this field. Firstly this area has a great potential related to growing interoperability between infrastructures. Secondly, EU scientists attesting very strong theoretical background need to reinforce the “proof of the concept” level and validation of research results. Russian IT researchers possess very strong software engineering skills, which has a great impact on rapidly proving the conceptions in applied research areas. Finally, the joint next-generation IT projects can incite a huge interest of business investors requiring for quite obvious demonstrations of success and for rapidity of technology commercialization.

This ICT domain correlates with the National Software Platform.

The introduction of the modern technologies in the fixed and mobile networks by the companies which are responsible for networks in Armenia, the wide range of investments as well as professional services and innovative products continuously contribute to the improvement of telecommunication infrastructure creating competitive advantages and exciting opportunities for all their customers. Armenian networks based on satellite and fiber optic channels are in the process of expansion to cover the whole territory of Armenia. The companies will provide innovative high-bandwidth satellite services, broadband Internet broadcast and data services throughout Armenia. The programming companies can offer complete solutions for e-commerce, database connectivity, web publishing, security, encryption, communications, as well as Multimedia design services, online polling systems, competitions, Olympiads, auctions, search and statistical systems.
In the different Institutes of NAS RA and ICT companies of Armenia the activities of scientific and technological research and development of systems for IP telephony, Network Diagnostics and other areas in Telecommunication are being conducted. ICT companies develop a comprehensive portfolio of hardware and software products for mission-critical private and public networks, business communications over the Internet. The offered products and solutions based on modern technologies address the network and service requirements of local exchange carriers operating wire line, wireless and mobile communication networks. The portfolio includes Measurement and control systems for various distribution networks, communication security systems for government agencies

Increasing penetration if broadband Internet access raises new challenges to Ukrainian ICT R&D teams. The vastness of the territory of Ukraine demands unique large scale networking infrastructures. It calls for new communication media, new security challenges and trust infrastructures.

There are some hard reasons to raise the importance of EU-Ukraine joint projects in this field. Firstly this area has a great potential related to growing interoperability between infrastructures. Secondly, EU scientists attesting very strong theoretical background need to reinforce the “proof of the concept” level and validation of research results. Ukrainian IT researchers possess strong software engineering skills, which has a great impact on rapidly proving the conceptions in applied research areas. Finally, the joint next-generation IT projects can incite a huge interest of business investors requiring for quite obvious demonstrations of success and for rapidity of technology commercialization.

Transport and Telecommunication were identified as one of the seven priority directions of Economical development in 2010-2014 years in the Republic of Kazakhstan Strategic Development Plan up to 2010 year.

For the satisfaction of the demand for fixed communication and also for further development of telecommunication area telecoms operators are building urban multiservice access networks and transport networks on the base of existed urban fiber channels.

Further development of rural communication network will be towards increase of wireless access on CDMA technology.

Kazakhstan government has planned to continue to develop CDMA radio access. Realization of plan let to provide rural setting with high speed Internet services.
