EthERNet

Ethiopian Education and Research Network (EthERNet) was initiated in 2001 as part of a national capacity building program that included projects such as SchoolNet and WoredaNet that aimed to provide connectivity and specialized applications for Schools and for local governments.

EthERNet was launched to build and deliver highly interconnected and high-performance networks for universities and other Educational and Research Institutions in Ethiopia. More specifically, EthERNet was aimed to build and deliver high performance networking that connected these institutions with each other and similar institutions in the world, and by doing this to enable them to share educational resources and collaborate both within Ethiopia and globally.

Currently EthERNet has a network with 1Gbs/sec or better bandwidth that ties many of the established universities in Ethiopia. In addition, a big project to build the next generation network that would provide 10GBit/sec to each of the public universities and interconnecting them, has been launched. This network which will provide a very high performing, robust network that will be build to minimize single points of failure through the use of network rings in various parts of the network. It is being built not only to provide the bandwidth that is currently needed but to also provide capacity for a very dynamic growth that will demand higher bandwidths in the coming years.

In a groundbreaking move to enhance connectivity and foster collaboration within Ethiopia’s academic landscape, EthERNet, a prominent member of the National Research and Education Network (NREN), has successfully deployed eduroam services across 15 universities. The initiative aims to provide seamless and secure internet access to students, faculty, and staff, revolutionizing the digital experience within these educational institutions.

The 15 universities benefiting from this transformative deployment include Debre Birhan University, Arbaminch University, Haramaya University, Dilla University, Arsi University, Injibara University, Addis Ababa University, Dire Dawa University, Assosa University, Adama Science and Technology University, Wachamo University, Jigjiga University, Jinka University, Gambela University, and Samara University.

HPC

 

Implementation of High Performance Computing for Educational and Research purposed for Science and Higher Education institutions including Ethiopian Universities, Vocational and Training centers and Research Centers.

EduVPN

eduVPN aims to offer both secure access to campus networks as well as the ability to be safer when using the Internet, when eduroam is not available and you are relying on insecure WiFi networks to connect. The essential eduVPN user experience should be: “open your laptop and be securely online”. eduVPN service instances offered by NRENs or universities, research labs and other institutions allow students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain a VPN connection on their devices to known end-points. It offers two different usage types, depending on what is needed where you are: institutional access and secure internet access.
