TEIN User Applications  TEIN success stories: • Natural disaster warning and post-crisis support • Crop research • Tele-surgical training • Medical tele-consultations • Virtual lectures • e-Social Science

Data Intensive Collaborative Crop Research: New Rice Varieties • Work on genes done at the International Rice Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines • International collaboration to develop resilient, climate-proof crop varieties. • Marker assisted selection used to develop water tolerant enhanced rice. • Applied DNA-sequencing to the genomes of different rice varieties • Vast genomics datasets created, analysed, and exchanged. • High-resolution GIS data for – Vegetation analysis, – Yield forecast, – sustainable land, – water management • Over 60% of the population in Cambodia rely on agriculture for their livelihoods and rice is principal crop. NRENs &TEIN contribute to food security.

Collaborative Projects with High Societal Impact: Disaster Warning GÉANT and TEIN provide a stable Typhoon forecasting and reliable connection between the expertise and high-speed computing capacity of the German weather bureau DWD and the meteorologists at its counterparts in the Philippines. Timely transmission of global meteorological data to make local prediction of typhoons. Typhoon Ketsana struck Cambodia in 2009. High-speed networking: saving lives by typhoon forecasting

Earth Observations: THEOS • First Thai Earth Observation Satellite • Launch 1 Oct 2008 with Polar Orbit ~14/day • Polar station at Esrange Space Centre, Kiruna, run by Swedish Space Corporation • Main control, processing & data archive centre run by GISTDA in Bangkok, Thailand. • MoU signed with DANTE • Link Kiruna-SSC-Stockholm to connect to SUNET expected in a month • File transfer: Emergency & Disaster, flood, forest fire

THEOS Data Moving The final End-2-End path • Data Path being tested: • SSC (Kiruna) – SUNET - NORDUNET - GEANT - TEIN (Pan Asian network) - ThaiREN (Thailand NREN) - GISTDA (Bangkok) Stockholm-Singapore udpmon throughput Looks good TCP throughput Not quite expected

GÉANT & TEIN Join Cultures through Music & Dance: Launch Performance • Art Exchange • Ancient musical instruments on stage in Stockholm (Grids used to reconstruct) • Dance: Water-stone power symbolism – Choreographed on traditional Malaysian movements & costumes Epigonium Barbiton Worked with NRENs on testing the link PoC for transmitting Audio & Video over 10,000 km latency ~500ms.
