Objective(s)
Create virtual regional network and provide connectivity to TEN-155 for Israel and Cyprus.
Participate in QUANTUM Test programme.
Investigate and identify pilot applications that would improve QoS for the region.
Promote academic networking within the region in order to involve more countries.
Achievements
Israeli and Cypriot NREN connections to TEN-155 available to production traffic in May 1999, i.e. less than 5 months after the roll-out of the network.
Q-MED partners were able to participate in the TF-TANT task force and the QUANTUM Test Programme on the same terms as QUANTUM partners.
Participants in Q-MED promoted the project and the idea of regional academic networking among all Third Mediterranean Countries (TMC) in conferences and workshops.
They launched initiatives to support this goal in the years to come, including the preparation of a project proposal for further regional collaboration, MEDNET.
Milestones
November 1998: tender responses received.
May 1999: 34Mbps connection of the Israeli NREN and first 2Mbps line of Cypriot NREN to TEN-155 available; start of the MEDNET initiative.
October 1999: second 2Mbps line to Cyprus available.
March 2000: programme of demonstrations involving companies from Cyprus, Greece and Israel in Nicosia.
