En evidencia de que la madre naturaleza no discrimina, aquí un compendio de lo que ha sido el día después que en la historia reciente, un huracán se mezclara con dos sistemas frontales creando el ahora denominado “Frankenstorm”, una mezcla letal de lluvia, vientos y nieve.
Como ven en la foto de arriba, Verizon tendrá mucho trabajo que realizar, pues la compañía revelo la foto de cómo se encontraron con el lobby de sus oficinas centrales en New York, para colmo, las líneas fijas y de data se encuentran en este mismo edificio y la número 1 de Estados Unidos en telefonía móvil ya trabaja en la de cambiar la rutas de tráfico, máxime en este momento crucial que las telecomunicaciones deben funcionar a máxima capacidad.
Las siguientes son los estados de las compañías que ofrecieron las mismas:
- Verizon
The storm surge from Hurricane Sandy has resulted in flooding at several Verizon Central Offices in Lower Manhattan, Queens, and Long Island causing power failures and rendering back-up power systems at these sites inoperable. While these sites are currently on battery power, the inevitable loss of power requires that all equipment at these sites be powered down to prevent damage. Customers that are served by these central offices will experience a loss of all services including FiOS (voice, internet, video), high speed internet, and telephone services. Some customers may experience intermittent busy signals while attempting to dial 311 service for non-emergency calls. Verizon engineers continue to assess the damage at these locations and we will post updates as additional information is available.- AT&T
As we continue to closely monitor our wireline and wireless networks for service disruptions, we are experiencing some issues in areas heavily impacted by the storm. We are in the initial stages of performing an on-the-ground assessment of our network for damage and crews will be working around the clock to restore service. We are deploying personnel and equipment as soon as it is safe to do so.- Sprint
Sprint is experiencing service impacts in the states affected by Hurricane Sandy and the concurrent winter weather conditions, particularly in the New York tri-state area, the Washington, DC metro area, Pennsylvania, and parts of New England. These impacts are due to loss of commercial power, flooding, loss of cell site backhaul connections, site access and damaging debris. Weather and safety conditions are still dire in some areas, but our technicians are assessing the damage and servicing sites as they become known to us and as the areas are deemed safe to enter. Given the on-going weather conditions, we cannot provide a specific number of impacted customers, but we ask that they remain patient at this time and exercise caution in the aftermath of the recent events.- T-Mobile
Severe high winds and weather conditions continue to affect many areas. Due to the impacts of Sandy, T-Mobile customers may be experiencing service disruptions or an inability to access service in some areas, especially those that were hardest hit by the storm. T-Mobile rapid response engineering teams are assessing the situation and we are moving as quickly as possible.
Adicional a esto y no muy buenas noticias de la FCC al indicar que posiblemente las cosas tarden en mejorar con la posibilidad que empeoren.
Al momento Julius Genachowski, líder de la FCC indica que Las inundaciones, la nieve y otras condiciones peligrosas podrían retrasar los esfuerzos para restaurar la electricidad y redes de comunicaciones.
Genachowski entiende que La tormenta no ha pasado. Nuestra postura es esperar lo inesperado ya que debido a los cortes de energía, así como daños físicos, tanto como el 25% de los sitios celulares en la trayectoria de la tormenta no estaban operando al filo de las 10 de la mañana del martes, de acuerdo con un sistema de monitoreo de la FCC. Aproximadamente una cuarta parte de teléfono de banda ancha doméstica, o servicios de cable también experimentó apagones generalizados.
Funcionarios de la FCC monitorea 158 condados en 10 estados y trabaja con las proveedoras para que todo llegue a la normalidad aunque no da promesas falsas.
