Dear Marina:

(1) It has been sometime since our last correspondences. Hope everything is going well and fine with you and Lyudmila.

(2) I listed the chiefs of the working groups of the GUS/Siberia as follows;

(a) Infrastructure

Marina V. Tyasto of SAPA
Anatoly Fedotov of Novosibirsk State University

(b) Global e-learning

Igor N. Dubina of Altai State University

Alexander V. Karpov of Novosibirsk State Medical University
Linda Hawkin Israel of Mobile Assessment and Media Systems (MAMAS)

(d) Community Development

Leonid K. Bobrov of Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management

(e) Globally Collaborative Research and Development

Tatiana S. Novikova of Novosibirsk State Technical University

I made this list in my following previous list distribution;

(02/21/07) Next steps of e-healthcare/telemedicine project of GUS/Siberia

(3) Pls visit Section IV-1 “Infrastructure” in the following;

Report on Fact-Finding and Assessment Trip to Create Global University System/Altai Mir (now Siberia)
http://tinyurl.com/y88mtk

In it, I proposed you the followings;

(a) The initial step for the SAPA office in Novosibirsk to be connected to the GLORIAD is to make an one-time payment of the US$20,000 GLORIAD membership, as similar to the Novosibirsk State Medical Academy which has already been a GLORIAD member with 155 Mbps connection. The SAPA would still need a 300 meters optical fiber line, and the right-of-way permissions to lay it down along streets. The SAPA may ask help of Vitaly Nikultsev of the Institute of Computational Technologies of Academy of Science for technical details on the connection of optical fiber line to the SAPA office.

This will let the SAPA be freed from accessing Internet at 56 Kbps, and to have outstanding videoconferencing system. With such videoconferencing system, SAPA in Novosibirsk can communicate with its SAPA regional offices easily, which will also help the SAPA’s distance education program for students in various nearby regional towns and cities. It will be more than the current procedures with hard-copy textbook and manuals and multimedia CD-ROM – see Addendum 1 of ANNEX 1.

(b) The SAPA may then lay down optical fiber network around the SAPA offices in Novosibirsk — as similar to an elementary school we visited in Gorno-Altay, which has done with an intranet of coaxial cable at 10 Mbps.

(c) The SAPA may then install WiFi base stations in various rooms so that students can access Internet via wireless approach — as similar to the Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management — as far as its use within an educational campus, it would not need to obtain a license on the frequency use.

This will proliferate the use of inexpensive laptop among students — for which the writer’s GLOSAS/USA may be able to help later.

(d) Once this much is accomplished in the SAPA office in Novosibirsk, the SAPA may then do the same to the SAPA regional offices through the already existing optical fiber lines emanating from Novosibirsk to various nearby towns, e.g., Barnaul, etc.

(e) The SAPA may also consider to deploy the so-called WiFi Cloud as covering entire city with installations of small antennas at every city blocks — see <http://tinyurl.com/2wm2qk> — as similar to New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago, Taipei of Taiwan, etc. -- though the SAPA may need to obtain its frequency allocation license.

(f) The SAPA may then start considering to connect GUS/Altai Mir affiliating member institutions as same as the SAPA regional offices.

I then suggested that you would compose a funding concept paper (4 to 5 pages) for the above step (3)-(a), which may be submitted to the UNDP, European Commission, or New Eurasia Foundation, etc., from your SAPA.

You may ask the help of Mr. Vitaly Nikultsev and Prof. Fedotov for the list-up of necessary hardware and procedures of installing the fiber-optical line.

(4) Should you need any further help, we may ask Dr. Mensah, a good friend of Linda, who is the world authority on optical fiber network — see his bio web sites.

BTW, he now started working on the GUS/Sierra Leon project with Linda.

(5) Looking forward to hearing your progress on the Infrastructure Project,

Best, Tak
