Flow has completed underground copper removal as it prepares further fibre relocation to strengthen network resilience.
Underground space cleared
Flow has completed removal of its legacy underground copper network, creating space for fibre infrastructure, according to Radio Jamaica’s October 10 report.
Removing the old copper creates room for further fibre work in the underground routes.
Further fibre work
Flow vice-president and general manager said the removal would allow more vulnerable aerial fibre to be placed underground. He presented it as part of broader network resilience work addressing disasters and criminal damage.
The work would change the fibre’s physical route from above-ground lines to the cleared underground space.
The remaining migration’s cost and deadline were not given, and the report includes no measured reduction in outages.
