1 National ATM Network of Public Administration as Basis for Building of e-government Valentin Milev Information Technologies and Communications Directorate Council of Ministers, Bulgaria ITC Directorate Council of Ministers, Bulgaria ISIS, Romania

2 Reasons to Built Most of applications need high speed connections Most of applications need transfer of large files Most of applications need an internet access There is a telecommunication company monopolist in Bulgaria As a result it is easy to develop internet connected applications but their support is expensive

3 National ATM Network of Public Administration - Network of Public Administration is integrated network for communication services АТМ technology is used for transfer of data, voice and video Fiber optic communication guarantees high availability and investment protection High speed of data transfer in network - 155/622 Mbit Zero cost of data and voice transfers

4 Development of started as a project for communication between Council of Ministers and National Assembly in 1997 year. In present moment network includes 120 kilometers fiber optic cable and 96 buildings on the capital area. is the biggest corporate ATM backbone in the world. For example, the biggest similar network is placed in Great Britain and includes 7 buildings.

5 Quantity of Connected Buildings in the Bulgarian capital

6 Simplified Topology of in a Town Center ATM Core Switch Client

7 Extension in Bulgaria After connecting administration buildings in Sofia is at it s second level of expansion: The architecture of network is multiplied in 28 regional centers in Bulgaria The network will be fully operational at the end of 2002 year The network will include 831 departments of public administration in 454 buildings. These are 61,64% of public administration buildings and 71,02% of public administration departments in the country (excluding Sofia) In the smallest towns will cover more then 80% of public administration buildings.

ATM has a possibility to transfer other protocols (IPX/SPX and TCP/IP). ATM has a possibility to build a redundant layer 2 networks. Almost every telecommunication equipment (including PBX) can be connected to ATM network.

10 Significance of provides unified methods for data transfer. Companies, developing information systems don t need design of independent communication environment. supports VPN s, so every department can use independent communication environment in Sofia and the whole country. supports basic services for internet based information systems DNS, SMTP mail relay, traffic shaping. An internet domain government.bg is registered. End users don t need to buy expensive ATM equipment. They use a standard Fast Ethernet equipment and TCP/IP protocols, which are well known, reliable and cheap.
