Re: Hawaiian ILEC infrastructure and fire

Not many physical paths available in that area. I would assume there are also a handful of wireless paths as well. Plus, it’s likely most of the cell sites burnt down during the fires. -Mike On Aug 15, 2023, at 22:54, TJ Trout <t...@pcguys.us> wrote:  I found it interesting that *all*? cellular service on west maui died? Does every carrier single-home via waves served out of the Lahaina CO? Or maybe they aren't allowed to have generators in Maui?

(:  But I wonder if those are different wifis.  I'd imagine the focus now is plant poles, hang fiber and get the Access part of the network fully up before getting those up, if they're the same ones. scott
