1 New Satellite e-service VPN for Intelligent City Management and Sustainable Development in Danube Region Mr Stefano Zara Tooway Regional Sales Manager Mr Tihomir Divjak Consultant for Balkans

2 Availability of existing solutions for cooperation An indispensable privilege - Daily need and usage of ICT Life within Information Society World Bank study 2009: ICT for economic development and new jobs 10% increase of investment in introduction of fast internet causes a 1.3% rise of GDP BB key of economic growth and education development in the world Doubling broadband speed upgrades GDP by 0.3%

3 Some European Experiences Introduction of ICT in Issy les Moulineaux 1996 Cyber City ; Interactive municipality governing; Local selfmanagement Proposal for Creation of a network in CADSES Region; WeB City Project 2006 Proposal for FP-5 URBACT - European exchange and learning program promoting sustainable urban development - sharing best practice experiences from across Europe; Classic conference presentation

4 New e-services Intelligent City Management: e- Government and e-democracy Regional cooperation - Digital future Harmonization of national interests Situation in non-eu states Statistics Development of ICT in the region - ICT strategy

5 Actual Needs and To Be program in Danube Region (1) EU Member states and candidate countries Developed but also developing countries More proactive status of the Danube region Better common life in the region Building a communication network between countries and various institutions Providing the opportunity for knowledge and experience sharing

6 Actual Needs and To Be program in Danube Region (2) Regional cooperation - Digital future Intensifying the integration processes Priceless influence on the space and spatial planning Network of cities and the research institutions Information and communication linkages necessity

7 Next steps Need for daily online communication Introduction of first satellite VPN for multipurpose services ASAP

8 Benefits of Satellite solutions Immediate Availability 24/7 High quality and large transfer of data Economically feasible system Tide of application for TV throughout 90s One-way distribution of signal More and more significant usage of BB in the beginning of the century Two-way interactive communication Instant bridging of the digital gap

9 Evolution of Satcoms One way Classic Two Way Present New Generation How it works Satellite Satellite technology evolves (cycles of 3-5 years) to meet user expectations, providing consistently better performance + lower terminal / subscription costs

10 Italian Best Case Practice - State aid Satellite broadband noted as: A complementary solution, alternative to the terrestrial backhaul, to overcome the digital divide Financing of users' access in areas where morphologic conditions make either impractical or economically unviable the set up of terrestrial facilities State aid 646/2009 Italy National broadband plan for rural areas in Italy Where the costs of deploying fiber [ ] were prohibitive [ ] the preferred bidder will provide basic or advanced basic broadband services via satellite [ ] typically where existing broadband infrastructures [ ] cannot provide minimum download speeds of 2 Mbps at affordable prices State Aid 461/2009 UK Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Next Generation Broadband

11 SUMMARY OF THE GUIDELINES FOR ACTIVITIES AND SOLUTIONS TO IMPLEMENT SATELLITE BB ACCESS ACTION For implementation of action, the PAs (Public Authorities) can choose between two different solutions: Solution 1): as the final beneficiary of the actions they can cover the terminal costs of the eligible end-users (final recipients) that apply for; Solution 2): launching a call for tenders in order to select the supplier that submits the best bid for the supply of user terminals, if solution1) cannot be implemented.

12 Public Administration Activity: 1206 Villages Population (total) : Surface (Kmq) : Mountain : 43,3% Hills : 30,3% Land : 26,4% Broadband Access for PA Applications Rural areas and Mountains Public bid (2004) Local distribution through WiFi Piedmont

13 Public Administration Activity: 287 Villages Population (total) : Surface(Kmq) : Montains: 25,1% Hills : 66,5% LAnd: 8,4% Extension of PA Telematic Network in Montains and Rural Areas. Public bid (2005) Consortium of 4 companies Tuscany

14 Public Administration Activity: Emilia Romagna 341 Villages Population (total) : Surface (Kmq) : Montains : 25,1% Hills : 27,1% Land : 47,8% Broadband Access & Extension of PA Telematic Network in Montain Areas (Lepida Network) Contract started on 2004

15 Territory Control, Monitoring and Emergency

16 Environmental monitoring: the Real-time monitoring and control of environmental, climatic and atmospheric parameters of Sardinia Region lakes Project, deployment and management of the infrastructure Virtual Private Network (VPN) IP bidirectional via satellite for: Remote monitoring and processing/storage historical data at CED (Cagliari) Alarms Sardinia Case Remote control and systems management (sensors, peripherals, centrals, etc.) from CAE assistance centre in Bologna Wireless connection to sensors in floating installations

17 Public subsidies for user access The only investment required for ubiquitous and immediate broadband is in the purchase and installation a user terminal Still a high upfront expense especially for low-income users Subsidizing terminals, a sound, user-focused way of using available EU funds to quickly and cost-effectively reach the 2013 target of the DA

18 Skylogic solution and Experience already done M of European households do not have access to BB SEE statistics significantly below the European average Digital gap and how to overcome it in the shortest timeframe Answer: Over satellite The new BB generation satellite KASAT Enables immediate connectivity TOOWAY Package Services: Up to 10 Mbps broadband service including triple-play

19 KA-SAT: Europe s Next Generation High throughput satellite system

20 Next steps VPN networks via satellite for professional cooperation VPN network for strategic institutions VNP university network VPN network for telemedicine Tooway Services- nod of a number of networks for bridging the digital gap

21 Tooway Equipment

22 Availability to build-up a pilot with Consortium partner (1) The need for urgent implementation of best European practices and experiences Appalling statistical data on ICT connections In accordance with European Directive COM (2010) 553 Final Regional Policy contributions to smart growth in Europe 2020 Satellite infrastructure and VPN for development initiators in the region Available: Now and 24/7

23 Availability to build-up a pilot with Consortium partner (2) Access to the best European solutions based on strategic topics: - Spatial and urban planning - Networking - Fighting pollution and GHG emissions - Joint activities and cooperation - Exchange and learning - Implementation of symbiotic solutions and best practices

24 Main purposes for realization of satellite VPN (1) Some key promoters and initiators of cooperation and development of ICT4D in the Region: RCC CeGD UNDP esee/bsee Working Group SEE ICT Forum Ministries Networking and information exchange for top decision makers

25 Main purposes for realization of satellite VPN (2) Regional initiatives, activities and smart growth for: Municipalities and Capital cities management Special agencies Universities Healthcare institutions Instant bridging of the digital divide in the undeveloped part of the region Significant element of cooperation for EU accession More efficient and more economical way of cooperation

26 Consortium and Financing - Next actions Recommendation of the Ljubljana Forum for launching of initiative Based on RCC Strategy and Work Program Networking and information exchange Project based on seven development pillars of CeGD CeGD leading the work in cooperation with RCC Forming a regional Consortium for realization of the project during 2012 Realization of a strategic service through the realization of the project New way of cooperation between cities in the Danube region Implementation of best European experiences and practice Efficient bridging of the transitional period

27 Consortium and Financing - Potential financing Pre-Accession Assistance: Adriatic IPA Cross Border Cooperation th Framework Program Donors No time for further delays in development
