The Italian Institute of Metrology (INRIM), the European Laboratory for NonLinear Spectroscopy (LENS), the Physics and Astronomy Department of the University of Firenze (UNIFI) and the Politecnico of Torino started a project to establish a 650 km optical fiber link that will enable remote frequency comparisons between high accuracy microwave and optical clocks of INRIM and UNIFI-LENS and an absolute measurement of the UNIFI-LENS Sr clock versus INRIM Cesium fountains. We report the overall architecture of the project, the present status of the experiment and the preliminary tests performed on the equipments.
