Letter of Support

Estonia is increasingly known in the world as a strong digital society. By maintaining this success

and making new progress based on it, we want to be even more capable.

Over the years, Tallinn University of Technology has been a good cooperation partner of Estonia's

Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, providing scientific insights and in-depth

analyses to questions under development. Today, one of such questions is the architecture of the

access infrastructure, required for providing reliable broadband connectivity across Estonia.

Hence, the ministry is happy to support Professor Gert Jervan and his research team in their

research project “Wide-scale sensing grid and availability assistant for automated link availability

assessments in disaggregated optical transport networks" with necessary input and feedback during

the project timeframe.

With this letter, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications confirms it`s full support

for this research initiative and encourages Eesti Teadusagentuur to fund this project.

Yours sincerely,
