Draft Final Report 7.1.7 Chapter 7 Outline of Scope of Works National Gateway Overhaul (1) Current situation The national gateway in Myanmar is currently provided by equipment with a transmission capacity of 13.3Gbps located in Yangon. Two pairs of IX routers with a capacity of 10GbE have been installed in Yangon and Naypyitaw respectively by December 2013 under the Project for Urgent Improvement of Communications Networks implemented with Japanese Government grant aid. (2) Necessity (Relevance) Under this project, it is planned to install a 100Gbps router in Yangon and in Naypyitaw as a national gateway. With regard to the relevance of the plan, as shown in Table 5.2-7 in Chapter 5, the total international communication speed (design value) is 437.71Gbps. This is the value needed as the total for all transmission routes across national borders. Presuming that a gateway exchange is established in all three metro-cities, approximately 150Gbps will be required as the processing capacity required for each gateway exchange. Therefore, the 100Gbps capacity of the routers to be installed in this plan is not excessive. (3) Scope of upgrade The network configuration is described in Figure 7.1-15 Outline of International Gateway Exchange. It will be installed in the Hantharwaddy Exchange in Yangon and the new Dakekina Exchange in Naypyitaw. (4) Equipment to be introduced Routers capable of meeting 100GbE standards (IEEE 802.3ba) will be installed. In addition, considering the importance of the international gateway exchange, one spare router will be added in an effort to enhance reliability by a duplex configuration. An outline is given below. ・ Yangon: Two IX Routers (100Gbps), one will be for backup ・ Naypyitaw: Two IX Routers (100Gbps), one will be for backup 7-27

Abstract: Reform in the political and economic spheres by Thein Sein's administration extended to telecommunication service and substantial reduction of the usage fees resulted to rapid increase of users of communication services. It is expected that the demand of communication services will expand at an accelerating rate from now on , while current status of the development of the communication network is delayed even in major cities including Yangon, Mandalay and Nayptitaw This situation is one of factors preventing the improvement of civil life and economic development. In addition , an international gateway is currently only one in Yangon with lacking in backup system. Since provision of stable communication service is a base for all economic activities and civil life, nation wide improvement of the communication network is required for balanced development of the nation. Among them, the improvement of the communication network in major cities (Yangon, Mandalay and Nayptitaw ) at the center of economic and commercial activities is an urgent need.

Under the above circumstances, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) in Myanmar set a goal to increase telecommunication density including mobile phone up to 75% to 80% by the end of 2016.

At Japan Myanmar top level meeting held on April 2012, bilateral cooperation in ICT sector was discussed as high priority and agreed on cooperation in ICT sector. Following the agreement at top level meeting, Japanese Government decided to carry out the Preparatory Survey on The Project for Improvement of Communication Networks.
