Update On Microwave Replacement

Greetings All,

We are in the final stretch of the inter-island microwave replacement. We have been blessed with a little sunshine to complete the work.

The inter-island data connection has been running over the Internet since June 25th so you will see no change in videoconference services or connection speed to Banner or Blackboard.

However as we start the path alignments in the next hour, St. Croix will not have 4 digit dial capabilities and voicemail will have to be accessed via 7 digit dial. That means you will have to check your voicemail on STX, your voicemail light will not work. These services will be unavailable until SATURDAY.

Pending any rain, we will be operating on the new microwave on Saturday. The crews will be on island through Tuesday as we perform testing and make any necessary adjustment. So do not be alarmed by any brief outages that may occur between Saturday and Monday.

We appreciate your patience as this important step is completed.

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or concerns.
Tina
