Fixed-line networks


Fixed-line networks are susceptible to damage and disruption from a variety of weather events:
  • Strong winds can damage structures

  • Prolonged freezing temperatures can damage underground cabling

  • Routine maintenance and servicing can be disrupted by prolonged heavy rain

Met Office forecast services can help you:

  • To anticipate periods of high incidence of line-faults, and plan staffing levels accordingly

  • Plan essential maintenance around tailored weather forecasts of high winds or extreme icing, for example.
