Agreement between Red.es and Ikerbasque

The BOE of 9th October 2021, publishes an agreement that is going to expand the i2basque Trunk Network with three new direct connections to RedIRIS, and establish a new i2basque Point of Presence (PoP) in Eibar.
These fiber optic connections will provide flow rates of up to 100 Gbps between the nodes of the i2basque trunk with direct connection to RedIRIS: Leioa (Bizkaia), Donostia-San Sebastián and Eibar (Gipuzkoa) and Vitoria-Gasteiz (Alava).
The maximum estimated total investment of Red.es is € 1,350,000, fully funded by Next Generation EU funds. The new fiber optic connections will have an Irrevocable Right of Use (IRU) of at least 12 years duration.
Ikerbasque has made an economic assessment of the execution of the actions derived from this agreement, estimated at about 28,260€.
The new direct connections to RedIRIS will facilitate the installation in the Basque Country of new Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructures (ICTS), and of a new PoP of the European GEANT network, through a cross-border connection with France.
