1.3 Plans
•
Establishing JMA’s IP backbone network
* Consolidation of the National Meteorological Network and others such as office intra, private
telephone (VoIP) and disaster prevention networks
* Use of cost-effective transport services
* Migration from legacy protocols to pure IP
•
Definite separation of national and international systems
* Optimizing system specification considering character sets, specific functions, and requirements in
reliability, capability and flexibility
* Use light footwork components in change of requirements
* Appropriate life time of each system
•
Restructuring of district telecom systems
* Optimizing the number of systems and location
* Use of open and common applications
1.4 Study items
