  • Infrastructure connec9vity = a vital factor for the

socioeconomic development of landlocked developing countries.

  • ESCAP’s Regional Economic Coopera9on and Integra9on

(RECI) agenda is bringing countries together through a mul9- dimensional approach to enhance infrastructure connec9vity which comprises transport, energy and ICT connec9vity.

Project Background

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Status of Connec9vity

  • All the three Countries are

Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC)

– Given a lack of territorial access to the sea. – Interna9onal connec9vity is highly dependent on their neighboring countries

  • Due to desert, mountainous

terrain, and/or low popula9ons scaUered over large distances, difficul9es emerge for the countries to develop infrastructure in remote and rural areas.

Challenges and Opportuni9es

  • Scope and approach for infrastructure

development may be influenced by the source of funding (ODA, government/ municipal budgets etc)

  • Some countries don’t have a PPP

framework for infrastructure development

  • While co-deployment has been

implemented in some countries, it was found that it could also be used for cross- border connec9vity.

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Con9nued

  • In some countries which have rocky,

mountainous terrains, ICT and transport co- deployment was found par9cularly important, as it reduces the cost of civil works.

  • Coordina9on among various ministries was

found key to the success of co-deployment.

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Poten9al outcomes

  • Conduct co-deployment feasibility studies,

including co-deployment of OFC along the gas pipelines, power grid and transport along the Russia-Mongolia-China Economic Corridor and Central Asia

  • Step-by-Step approach of 1) pilo9ng co-

deployment at na9onal level, 2) pilo9ng cross- border co-deployment, 3) focus on OFC

  • A study can examine good prac9ces of addressing

disrup9ons, maintenance, upgrade and expansion across concerned sectors.

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Con9nued

  • Further considera9on to the u9liza9on of exis9ng

OFC along u9li9es which are connec9ng ports to inland provinces.

  • Feasibility studies on corridors along the Asian

Highways proposed for considera9on

– Urumqi – Ulaanbaatar – Almaty – Bishkek – Eastern and southern parts of Kazakhstan – Rural parts of Mongolia – Connec9ng renewable genera9on plants in Kyrgyzstan

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Con9nued

  • Conduct cost-benefit analyses to assess net

benefits and iden9fy non-monetary benefits, such as environmental and social benefits

  • Formulate a proposal for financing using

market based tools and leveraging PPP.

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Summary

  • There is consensus on the importance of co-

deployment, including cross-border co- deployment, which should be supported by robust na9onal frameworks.

  • The step-by-step approach to pilot na9onal

level co-deployment and then cross-border ini9a9ves recommended.

  • Feasibility studies recommended on the above

men9oned areas.

Disaster risk reduc9on

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Develop methodologies (including average annual loss) for situa9onal risk analysis

– Mul9-hazards risk maps – Future losses from earthquakes, floods, drought, landslides, sinkholes – Add socio-economic data to look at the intersec9on of disaster vulnerability and social vulnerability – Use these data in conjunc9on with infrastructure development to locate risk hotspots

slide-27

Training and capacity development

  • Provide training and capacity development for government
  • fficials and other stakeholders on methodologies in

collabora9on with the Center for emergency situa9on and disaster risk reduc9on (par9cipants will be invited from all three countries for training)

  • UNESCAP and the Center for emergency response will

collaborate to organize the 6 training workshops in Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Mongolia. They will be responsible for iden9fying par9cipants and bring them to the workshops

  • Collaborate with other interna9onal organiza9ons (UNOSAT,

UNISDR, MapAc9on) for training exper9se on using new technologies such as impact remote sensing and crowdsourcing

  • Need to iden9fy the demand of professionals in advance
  • Decrease the nega9ve impacts of infrastructure to environment
  • 2. Disaster risk reduc9on
  • Absence of disaster risk assessment for the project region
  • Disaster risk assessment should be conducted in line with the feasibility

study

Submarine Optical Cables Vital for International Communications

Page 3

⚫ The earth's geography necessitates submarine optical cables for effective international communications.

➢ No land routes between Oceania and the American and Eurasian continents. ➢ Only 44 landlocked countries out of nearly 200 countries ➢ Over 95% of international traffic is transmitted through submarine cables. ⚫ The leading role of submarine cables in international communication will not change.

➢ Satellite: bandwidth is limited, making it unsuitable for serving many users. Useful for remote islands and landlocked countries. ➢ Terrestrial cable: lower construction and maintenance costs, but cross-border deployments have not been successful so far. ➢ For central Asia countries, one of the most important issues for improving the international connectivity is to strengthen the cooperation for cross-border terrestrial cables connection within this subregion.

slide-67

Fierce Competition in Global Submarine Cable Market

Page 4

⚫ Resources, policies, and geography foster submarine cable centers.

➢ US: world's top Internet companies, rich content resources, aggregation of global Internet traffic ➢ Hong Kong and Singapore: location advantages, open economies, well-developed service industries ➢ Japan, UK

⚫ New markets are proactively challenging the submarine cable business landscape.

➢ Thailand: 5 billion Thai baht to CAT Telecom to develop new paths ➢ Finland: promoting Arctic submarine cable construction ➢ Chile: planning to reach China's transoceanic submarine cable and directly connect to Asia ➢ India: Tata Communications acquired Tyco, and continues to expand its network

Strong Collaboration Between Submarine Cables and Data Centers

Page 6

⚫Internet traffic dominates the global submarine network architecture.

➢ Traditional services: voice and private line circuits use Kbit/s- or Mbit/s-level bandwidth ➢ New services: Internet uses Gbit/s or even Tbit/s-level bandwidth ➢ Global traffic flows to Internet content centers in the US and Europe

⚫ Global data center interconnection affects submarine cable construction.

➢ Cloud computing and high granularity boost data centers. ➢ Data center interconnection is required for high bandwidth, high granularity, rapid growth, flexibility, and agility.

Cross-border Terrestrial Cables and Submarine Cables in China

⚫ Cross-border terrestrial cables connect to neighboring countries

➢ 12 countries, 17 border crossings ➢ 70 TB+ bandwidth

⚫ Key international submarine cable access countries and regions

➢ 4 landing points, 9 landing cables ➢ 40 TB+ bandwidth ➢ Cables reach North America, Asia, Europe, etc

⚫ Actively participate in the construction of non-landing submarine cable

➢ SMW5,FASTER。。

Strengthening International Cooperation and Exploring the Submarine Cable Connection Mode

⚫ China can play a larger role in:

➢ Establishing more information channels to the West. ➢ Providing cable connections to countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia.

⚫ ITU-T GS3

➢ Study of Tariff, Charging Issues of Settlements Agreement of Trans-multi- country Terrestrial Telecommunication Cables

⚫ Submarine and terrestrial cable cooperation improve Internet access of landlocked countries.
