1 Introduction
[Expert Committee Reviewed]
Page 4
 The University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh, under the auspices of
Ministry of Education, Government of Bangladesh, is currently implementing a
project titled “Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project (HEQEP)”. The project
aims at improving the quality and relevance of the teaching and research
environment in higher education institutions through encouraging both innovation
and
accountability
within
universities
and
by
enhancing
the technical
and
institutional capacity of the higher education sector.
 The major components of the project are a) promoting academic innovation through
allocation of Academic Innovation Fund to research projects, b) building institutional
capacity of both UGC and Universities, c) raising the connectivity Capacity of Higher
Education Sector.
 The main activity under the component of “Raising the Connectivity Capacity” is to
establish
BdREN
(Bangladesh
Education
and
Research
Network),
a
high
performance information and communications network providing connectivity
among higher education and research institutions in both public and private sectors.
The network, with state-of-the-art network infrastructure and access to broadband
internet connections at a reasonable price, will support geographically dispersed
students, academics, scientists and researchers with reliable access to high-end
computing, simulation tools and datasets. BdREN will also be connected with other
regional and trans-continental Research and Education Networks (RENs) like TEIN 3.
Thus it will link faculty and students of Bangladesh to the global academic
community and learning resources. It will facilitate international collaborative
research and will catalyze innovation in the country.
 Under the HEQEP, BdREN will establish its key infrastructure including the Network
Operating Center (NOC) and Points of Presences (POPs). It will also support the
establishment of Basic Campus Networks (BCN) in number of universities that
currently have no such local area networks.
 The project will set up the NOC at UGC building Dhaka, and POPs in different
locations in the country. The NOC will be equipped with essential equipment and
technical staff for the operation and management of BdREN activities. BdREN will
take on lease the backbone physical infrastructure, like fiber appropriate providers
and will develop a core network of multiple of gigabits per second capacity. Initially
about one hundred institutions will be connected to this network.

Remote Survivability System
The enterprise unified voice solution should provide remote survivability option
for the local IP phones at all the Area Offices in case of a link failure.
Should provide automatic survivability service to all types of IP phones in the
local site in the event of no service being available from the call control system
to the phones. The survivability system should be capable of providing fall back
telephony system on its own in case of no network availability.
In the event when service from the call control system becomes unavailable,
the phones should register themselves automatically to the survivability
[Expert Committee Reviewed]
Page 173
system.
No existing “internal” calls should drop while the switch over is happening as
mentioned in the previous point.
The survivability system should be able to facilitate voice calls between phones
in the same site.
Once the service from the call control system is back to the phones, the phones
should automatically switch over from the survivability system to the call
control system without any manual intervention or system interruption.
No “internal” existing calls should drop while the switch over is happening as
mentioned in the previous point.
Should provide the following basic call features while the phones are registered
with the survivability system - Caller ID, Call hold & resume, call pick up, call
forward, call transfer last-number redial, Calling party name, music on hold,
distinctive ringing.
In the event of a few sites loosing the service from the call control system due
to some failure in the WAN connectivity, the survivability systems should be
able to allow voice calls between locations through PSTN by leveraging the
PSTN gateway.
While the phones are working with the survivability system, the survivability
system should support signaling encryption for all types of IP Phones to make
sure no tampering has occurred to signaling packets during transmission.
The survivability system should support encryption of the voice traffic (media)
between all three types of IP Phones using standard based Secure RTP (SRTP)
as per IETF RFC 3711 for security requirements while the phones are working
with the survivability system due to loss of service from the call control system.
Should support compression of VoIP packet headers using compressed Real
Time protocol as per IETF RFC 2508.
Should support IP Precedence and DSCP for VoIP packet classification &
marking.
Should have QoS support to offer very low latency and jitter to critical voice
traffic.
Should support policing and shaping for delivering the appropriate QoS to
applications as well as for securing the survivability system from threats.
