Flow’s completed copper removal opens room for underground fibre, according to the company’s account reported by Radio Jamaica.
Flow Jamaica says its legacy underground copper removal is complete, according to Radio Jamaica. The account comes from the company.
Removing old infrastructure can create room for a different network without requiring the same amount of new route construction.
Flow says that space will help it move more aerial fibre underground. Further fibre work is still planned.
Underground routes reduce exposure to some hazards but remain exposed to others, including damage during excavation. A construction milestone and a measured improvement in service are different forms of evidence.
