NTC sa telcos: Tiyakin na agad na makukumpuni ang serbisyo matapos ang Carina, Habagat

INATASAN ng National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ang telecommunication companies na tiyakin na agad na makukumpuni at maibabalik ang telecommunications services kasunod ng matinding pagkasira bunsod ng matinding hagupit ng bagyong Carina at Southwest Monsoon o Habagat.
Tinukoy ng NTC ang isang memorandum na ipinalabas noong Hulyo 22, inatasan ang lahat public telecommunications entities (PTEs) na “ensure that there are sufficient number of technical and support personnel, standby generators, tools and spare equipment in the areas which shall be affected by Typhoon Carina, as well as fast track the repair and restoration of telecommunications services in those areas.”
Sinabi ng NTC na nag-report ang PTE sa ahensiya na mayroong mobile at broadband service disruptions sa ilang lugar na apektado ng pananalasa ng Carina, pangunahin ang kawalan ng suplay ng kuryente.
“In addition, flooding in many areas is making restoration activities more challenging as surrounding roads remain impassable,” ayon sa NTC.
“Nonetheless, round-the-clock restoration efforts are continuously being undertaken by the PTEs, including deployment of power generator sets until such time that commercial power is re-established, which will then hopefully restore regular telecommunications services within 24 to 48 hours,” aniya pa rin.
Sinabi naman ni PLDT-Smart Corporate Communications head Cathy Yang na “Our network team confirms that sites that are down due to Carina comprise only about 3% of our installed base in those areas, so we consider the impact minor.”
“Of these affected sites, 80% is due to lack of power. Once commercial power is restored, we will be able to quickly recover all connectivity,” ayon kay Yang.
Gayundin, sinabi naman ni Globe Telecom Sustainability and Corporate Communications chief Yoly Crisanto na “as the weather has improved and floods have subsided, our personnel are now working on quickly restoring services in the few isolated areas that experienced disruptions in their call, text and data services.”
Sinabi ni Crisanto na hindi nakapag-record ng anumang pinsala sa network infrastructure nito.
Sinabi ng Globe executive na ‘as of Thursday morning’, mahigit sa 90% ng mobile sites ng Globe sa Metro Manila ay tumatakbo na may ilang pasilidad naman ang bumagsak dahil sa power outages, habang wala namang 3G sites ang apektado.
Sa Northern Luzon, mahigit sa 95% ng 2G, 3G, LTE at 5G sites ng Globe ay ‘operational.’ (Daris Jose)
