BJNet: Another Way to Build a NREN
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the way a gigabit NREN (National Research and Education Network) covering the whole country of Benin and that will connect over twenty university centers was built using mainly local unused infrastructures and local permanent staff already paid by the State of Benin (predominantly personnel from the Université d'Abomey-Calavi, UAC, in Benin and from Benin Armed Forces). The necessary additional equipment were provided by a relatively modest ACP (African,Caribbean and Pacific Group of States Organization) project mainly funded by the EU. The necessary expertise was mostly provided by a Belgian University, Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), a Beninese university, Université d'Abomey-Calavi (UAC), signal officers from Benin Armed Forces (FAB) and the Belgian NREN, Belnet.
