Abstract

CESNET’s main role is to run, maintain and provide services for users of Czech NREN called CESNET2. It has more than 5 thousand kilometres of leased fibres of which 360 kilometres are represented by the Experimental Facility. Connection to other NRENs (mostly represented by GÉANT members) has capacity of 10Gbit, with exception of cz.NIC, where CESNET has 2x 10Gbit. Beyond this, CESNET also operates single fibre bidirectional transmission lines and offer several advanced services, mostly coming from its R&D activities. One example could be photonic service, based on pure fibre optic network advantages. Services such as wireless, security, storage, grid and others are mostly represented by particular CESNET departments.
