Sam O'Gazalek of Politico. You mentioned the backup system at the Philly Tracon and then also a software patch on Friday.
00:07
Are those the same things or can you distinguish what the differences are, if there are any?
00:12
So, do I want to take this? Do I want to go? I'll try it and then if I get it.
00:17
So, because the telecom is so fast coming in and we have to slow it down,
00:27
when the primary line went down and we switched to the backup line,
00:34
the system we have in place was not adequately slowing down the feed.
00:42
And so it overloaded that line and it went down.
00:46
But again, we are trying to slow speeds down to 1990 speeds for 1980 equipment.
00:56
So, we're going to build new high-speed resilient fiber lines,
01:02
but we also then need technology from today that can take the speeds.
01:08
And so, because they're mismatched, the second line got overloaded and went down.
01:14
That's what happened both two weeks ago and on Friday morning.
01:20
Did I get that right, Frank? Am I close?
01:22
So, is the backup system operational right now? I know the software patch has been switched.
01:28
So, the software patch actually worked on Sunday morning.
01:31
So, that's why we didn't lose radar, we didn't lose telecom on Sunday morning.
01:36
But the primary line went down and when that happened the prior two times,
01:40
the whole system went down for 30 seconds.
01:42
So, the controllers were concerned and that's why they did a ground stop for 45 minutes.
01:47
However, we didn't lose telecom and we didn't lose scopes this Sunday.
01:51
The backup line and the fix worked.
01:54
So, the backup line was functioning the way it is supposed to.
01:57
Does that make sense?
01:58
Yeah.
01:58
Okay.
