Major operators say they are prepared for hurricane season

Operators said that they have updated and tested response plans to ensure the continuity of service or restore it quickly in the event that Puerto Rico is affected by a hurricane. Claro reported that they added 800 generators to their power redundancy catalog, with diesel tanks of up to 113,593 liters.

Meanwhile, the president of Liberty, Naji Khoury, pointed out that the company's networks are more resilient due to the burial of more fiber and the presence of more redundancy points. Finally, T-Mobile assured that their network switches, points of presence, and other key sites are equipped with fixed security generators, which help keep the network operational during power outages.
