4. 2. About Ethernet
EthERNet is Ethiopian National Research and Education Network (NREN)
36 universities are already connected to Ethernet network; 40G backbone network with 10G access each.
The optical (fiber) backbone is built on highly reliable OPGW and ADSS on EEU high voltage lines Km of fibers are used
Total investment is around 1.2 billion ETB
Exchange Point/Internet Gateway is at EthERNet Data Center in Addis Ababa to peer with neighboring NRENs (SudREN, KENET, SolmaliREN) and ultimately will connect to UbuntuNet, GiANT, Internet2 and to other global research and education network.
Current Member of UbuntuNet Alliance (Regional Research and Education Netwok)

10. 6. EthERNet Phase II Project
1. More than 50 higher education will be a member of EthERNet network.
2. Meshed transmission
The transmission network will be meshed topology, and the ring topology shall increase from 2 to 5 Rings.
This will enhance the network security, strengthen service availability.
3. Full OPGW migration
Most of the fiber route uses the existing OPGW cable, but needs to migrate the rest that uses the existing ET’s optical fiber cable.
4. Redundancy at the aggregation layer
For the aggregation layer, one more AG router will be added for each aggregation site
