Re: Hawaiian ILEC infrastructure and fire

It’s SUPER common for all of the carriers on a cell site to share the same common backhaul path. And I can tell you from personal hands-on experience the majority (90+%) of cell sites in the US have simplex connectivity.

Maybe it was a generator issue.  I'm sure a few cells burned but there are over ten on the west side so they didn't all burn.  Feet on the ground are reporting they brought in at least a few COWS (cellular on wheels/portable cell site trucks) On Thu, Aug 17, 2023, 12:53 AM William Herrin <b...@herrin.us> wrote: On Wed, Aug 16, 2023 at 6:43 PM scott via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote: > Last, it's an island and diverse paths are > short in number. To put it into perspective: there are exactly TWO roads that can get you from Lahaina back to Kahului and the airport. One of them is a narrow, cliff-hugging single lane road that is more or less paved. Though I am curious about the Paniolo cable landing in Lahaina. Did it survive? HICS and HIFN land in Kihei instead, right? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin b...@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
