2014-11-16 9:45AM – Wireless Network Outage in Westside, SC RESOLVED

As of 8:30AM, power has been restored to our wireless radios and routers that feed customers in Westside, Santa Cruz.  All Enterprise and Business Broadband customers are now back online.

This failure was similar to yesterday’s failure at the same time due to maintenance on the building and the circuit feeding our equipment being faulty.  It would normally be connected to a generator that would keep our equipment live during any maintenance, but unknown to us that circuit is not correctly connected to the generator.  The building maintenance is now over so we do not foresee any future power outages, and we have electricians scheduled to correctly route the circuit to the generator as it should be for any future outages.

As of 8:30AM, power has been restored to our wireless radios and routers that feed customers in Westside, Santa Cruz.  All Enterprise and Business Broadband customers are now back online.

This failure was from a faulty circuit that should have fed power from a backup generator on the site during a building-wide power outage.  This circuit is now scheduled for future maintenance so this type of power failure does not occur again.

 

11/2 @ 12:25am Westside Santa Cruz outage UPDATE ADDENDIUM

After posting the previous two updates on the Westside outage, our network techs doing these updates realized that it was technically 11/2 due to the outage happening after midnight, not 11/1 as previously reported.

Now would be a perfect time to attribute this user error to this morning’s day light saving time change, but ‘Fall back’ is only for an hour, not a whole day!  Sorry for any confusion.
