4 Dark Fibers in 96 filament commercial bundle
AURA Gate
Blue line indicates the path in which REUNA will have a dark fiber pair.
AURA/LSST and REUNA will each utilize a 100G circuit.
LSST will occupy one 100Gbs circuit.
Other AURA traffic will flow over the REUNA 100G circuit.
AURA will have an optional additional 9 x λs within this pair, each of which can be 10,40,100Gbs
Red line indicates the legacy Pan American route where LSST will have 4Gb between 2016 and which will increase ≥40Gb as a diverse path
Three main Telecoms investing in a fiber bundle for an alternate route from La Serena to Vicuna and Santiago. AURA will have an 18 year IRU ( ) with REUNA for 4 dark fiber filaments in this bundle. Completion dated 2015.

11. 02C.08 FY16 Accomplishments
La Serena – Santiago primary fiber installed, repeaters installed, waiting on Ministry paperwork to activate
La Serena – Santiago secondary path configured, tested, and accepted (at 4 Gbps)
La Serena – AURA Gatehouse fiber installed up to Highway 41 turnoff to AURA Gatehouse, “last mile” to be installed at same time as AURA – Gatehouse – Summits fiber
AURA Gatehouse – Summits fiber contract split out and awarded to Telefonica, first phase (survey route) in progress, installation complete by November, 2016
DWDM equipment procurement
100 Gbps Ring East and West side fibers in place and under test, Santiago peering for Santiago – Sao Paolo complete by November, 2016 and with DWDM equipment by April, 2017

12. 02C.08 Earned Value
Trends are lagging restructuring of Summit - Base contract, late invoices, see Variance Explanations

13. 02C.08 Earned Value Cost Variance Schedule Variance
Delayed invoice in La Serena - Santiago link, received in July payment in process
Main 55km section La Serena – Highway 41 AURA turnoff is done but final 1.5 km section from Highway 41 turnoff to Gatehouse will be done simultaneously with Summits - Gatehouse fiber, LCR processed in June to invoice/pay all when final section is done
Schedule Variance
Delay in installation of Summits – Gatehouse fiber, complete by November, 2016

14. Leveraging joint, multi-national investments in fiber optic networks yielded 10x cost reduction to LSST
“3T” fiber in Chile from La Serena – Santiago
100 Gbps ring Santiago – Miami
Monet Cable Sao Paolo – Boca Raton
Net to LSST 140 – 200 Gbps diverse paths in Chile
Net to LSST 300 Gbps (100 Gbps spectrum) diverse paths Chile – US
LSST MREFC investment ~$20M
Net Value ~$200M (if leased commercially)

15. Leveraging investments changed spending profile
Need to align spending profile with initiative schedules for fiber installation
Accelerated LSST spending on 100 Gbps ring and Monet Cable
Split La Serena – Summits into two parts
La Serena – AURA Gatehouse – REUNA, leverages 3T fiber installation
AURA Gatehouse – Summits – Telefonica, new contract, delayed by 6 months
Net result
35% early spend relative to original MREFC profile as of 4/30/16
All changes submitted as LCRs and approved
Budgeted Cost at Complete remains same, costs shifted forward not increased
