"Keep Ukraine Connected" initiative information...
by Jan Zorz - Go6 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Draga SEE zajednica... Apology in advance for possible duplicates of this information and/or long email... At GNA (Global NOG Alliance) we started a new initiative (or a task force) called "Keep Ukraine Connected", aiming at mobilizing global technical community to support Ukrainian operators and community with donating and delivering hardware that they need to keep the light on and Internet connectivity available in the country. https://nogalliance.org/our-task-forces/keep-ukraine-connected/ This is a completely non political initiative that is just aimed to help keeping the information accessible to people in distress. We at GNA are in close contact with The Ukrainian Internet Association (UIA) and National Commission for the State Regulation of electronic communications, radiofrequency spectrum and the provision of postal services amd also with their association of business ISPs. They are coordinating the effort on their side with operators and people on the ground, providing us with the current needs. This is a partial list of what we are looking for right now: Specific requests: Wifi Soho (TP-Link, Netis, Mikrotik, etc) Wi-fi Backbone/Backhole (Mikrotik, Mimosa, Ubiquiti) Access switches (PoE preferred) (Any brand) Core switches (Any brand) Power generators (Any brand) General needs: Starlink satellite systems Wifi access points Wifi P2P systems Routers Switches Fiber repair tools (splicers, cleavers) Q/SFP modules Servers Walkie-Talkies It's probably redundant to stress out that all donated equipment needs to be in full working order, because people on the ground does not have time to figure out how to repair stuff at the moment. We are also accepting money donations at the web page mentioned above that will be used for some costs of logistics of transport and also to buy the most needed equipment that we'll not get through hardware donations from the community that we are collecting at warehouse in Germany. How will this work? We have access to a truck based in Germany, and volunteer drivers. We will coordinate filling the truck with the technology bought with your donations, along with the donations of network equipment we have received from the community, then drive that truck to the Ukraine border. Our chair, René Fichtmüller, has already made the journey once — albeit with a more regular cargo of donations. For all questions and/or suggestions, please send an email to ukraine(a)nogalliance.org. We appreciate anything you can do to help out. Thank you! Best, Jan Žorž on behalf of Global NOG alliance and our contacts in Ukraine
