LACNIC’s R&D Ambassadors<\/a> program promotes and supports technology leaders in the community and their efforts to develop Internet infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean. Through open calls for proposals, the initiative identifies professionals interested in conducting research projects and technical activities aligned with LACNIC\u2019s strategic priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, the program seeks to enhance collaboration with technology leaders, identify new leaders, and connect them with the LACNIC community. On the other, it aims to strengthen the regional community\u2019s technological capabilities to ensure an open and stable Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the program aims to promote the development of new leaders across different countries and to further develop LACNIC’s ties with local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past year, three R&D Ambassadors, Jos\u00e9 Augusto, Fernando Tipiani, and David Macmahon, implemented various initiatives focused on training network operators, deploying Internet measurement tools, and strengthening the region\u2019s technical infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measurements and security<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jos\u00e9 Augusto<\/a> organized workshops and technical talks on key Internet development topics such as network interconnection topology, the transition to IPv6 and the implementation of this protocol, the use of the RIPE Atlas measurement platform, and the deployment of RPKI and ROAs to improve routing security. These activities included workshops, hands-on labs, and panel discussions with 50 to 60 in-person participants at each event. As part of his work, 11 RIPE Atlas probes were deployed, including an anchor probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RPKI in Peru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fernando Tipiani<\/a> focused his initiative on the practical implementation of RPKI at the Cable Visi\u00f3n Per\u00fa ISP. This involved creating ROAs, installing a local validator, and integrating it with monitoring and notification systems. He also organized technical workshops for network operators and promoted the deployment of measurement infrastructure and services such as Anycast DNS and BGP collectors. As part of his project, 12 RIPE Atlas probes were deployed, including an anchor probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

David Macmahon<\/a> organized multiple technical forums, deployathons, and training sessions in Colombia aimed at network operators and Internet service providers in the region. These meetings covered topics such as network monitoring with Zabbix, the deployment of RIPE Atlas, building a network, and infrastructure modernization. His activities combined in-person and virtual formats, reaching dozens and even more than 100 participants per event. As a result, 20 RIPE Atlas probes were deployed, including four anchors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These three initiatives driven by R&D Ambassadors during 2025 contributed to strengthening the technical capabilities of network operators across the region, promoting best practices in routing security and Internet measurement, and expanding the regional RIPE Atlas probe network, thus improving the observability of Internet performance in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2026 Call for applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The R&D Ambassadors program is now launching a new call for applications to further consolidate its position as a collaboration space for the technical community and LACNIC, fostering projects that contribute to the development and resilience of Internet infrastructure in the region.
