Due to the effects of climate change, the number of weather events has
increased in recent years. In 2021 there were six events that impacted cities
where we have infrastructure:
ל
February. Frost in the north of the country limited the energy
supply at 187 network sites. During this event there was no
impact on our services.
April. A storm in the city of Nuevo Laredo resulted in the
collapse of a tower that impacted the last-mile access of 65
customers. However, our backbone infrastructure was not
impacted.
August. Hurricane Grace (CAT 4) hit the states of Quintana
Roo, Yucatan, Campeche, and Veracruz, affecting the access
infrastructure of more than 80 customers. This damage was
mitigated and services were recovered in record time.
August. Hurricane Nora (CAT 1) hit the Pacific coast with
minimal impact on last-mile access.
September. Tropical Storm OLAF affected few last-mile
accesses on the Baja California Peninsula.
October. Hurricane Pamela (CAT 1) made landfall in the state
of Sinaloa, resulting in last-mile access damage and outages.
In addition, this year we performed 236,000 preventive maintenance
routines throughout the network to maintain availability and guarantee
operations during critical events caused by climate change.View entire presentation
