Puerto Rico’s wireless telecom providers have restored between 82 percent and 95 percent of services to sites ravaged by Hurricane María in September, but a full restoration will hinge on controlling vandalism, copper theft and restored energy service.
Open Mobile, one of Puerto Rico’s five wireless carriers, has chosen Interop Technologies, a global provider of advanced communication networks and cloud-based managed services, to integrate virtualized internet-based technology into its network.
Three months after announcing their joint venture, Sprint and Open Mobile filed a petition before the Federal Communications Commission to approve the transaction that would combine the carriers’ operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
