Climate Resilient Internet

👉 A *single* fiber cut caused this? It seems that the real crime wasn't so much in the deliberate cut as in the network engineering. Where's the resilience?

Without fiber we wouldn't have the internet, yet like everything else, fiber has its shortcomings. For instance, redundant and diverse fiber all comes back to the same old power grid. And now we're seeing nut jobs attacking that as well. 👿

The point is, if you're responsible for critical business or essential services, total faith in fiber and 100% SLAs shouldn't buy you a minute's extra sleep.

🤔 That's why this post is so worth reading: "Fiber is a single point of failure." Check it out and join the discussion: https://zurl.co/0eJK.

Comcast customers around Philadelphia unable to watch Super Bowl due to cable outage According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the line was evidently cut deliberately and police were aware of the situation.

Backup power doesn't keep anyone in business, because internet infrastructure can't be powered by a generator. Try to run a hotel, hospital, airport—or any essential operation—without computers.

That's why Climate Resilient Internet is partnering with energy providers to meet the *FULL* promise of resilience, because there is NO business continuity without access to data. If your generator or microgrid vendor isn't offering us, send them our way.

Tens of thousands without power in Northeast as another storm threatens the US from New Mexico to Maine | CNN Tens of thousands of homes and businesses across multiple states in the Northeast were without power early Tuesday after a winter storm dumped more than a foot of snow across areas from central New York to the Maine-Canada border.

Extreme weather is everywhere and when times get really tough, the internet goes out and so does everything we rely on. 🤯 Work, school, healthcare; even emergency services. Losing the internet compounds every calamity and service can be down for days and weeks.

That's why Climate Resilient Internet (CRi) created a new, ultra-resilient internet service. It's based on a new standard and certification for resilience to extreme weather, power outages and even terror attacks. Think we have to lose internet in a storm? Think again.

If you're responsible for critical business or government operations, don't let the internet go down on your watch. And if you're an internet provider or WISP, ask how you can be certified as a Resilient Internet partner.

Internet Resilience to Climate Change | Climate Resilient Internet | Boston Climate Resilient Internet is the world's first internet service, certified to protect mission critical data from extreme weather.

Climate Resilient Internet updated their phone number.

👉 We lose internet and data access whenever weather kills the power grid 🤯 and that's a growing vulnerability for critical business and societal infrastructure—like hospitals, airports and even sanitation—all which depend on data.

Backup power alone isn't the answer, because that can't power AT&T, Verizon and other carrier devices between you and the internet.

Yesterday's answer was disaster recovery, but that's too little too late. Cut off from data, public safety and healthcare are hamstrung, business grinds to a halt and even national security is impacted.

Fortunately there's a solution! 🙌

🚀 It's a new industry *Certification* for internet resilience to extreme weather. It's called *Certified CRi" and it's based on proven tech once deployed by AT&T in the 1950's and which famously, was designed to withstand not only extreme weather, but also a nuclear detonation.

💪 With *Certified CRi*, no business or critical infrastructure will be without mission critical internet and data access. Think of it as lifeboats for the internet.

We're a -based firm, led by climate activists and technologists and we're bringing adaptation principles to internet infrastructure. It's new best practices for telecom for the climate age.

👉 THE PROBLEM, is that they're cut off from critical internet and cloud data, which depends on the grid. They may have power, but power alone hardly constitutes resilience.

Without data, supply chains are severed, critical operations crash, hospitals are inoperable, airports are grounded and regional economies suffer. It's a big reason disaster recovery is such a long and costly proposition.

How do we solve the problem?

We're the Initiative for Climate Resilient Internet. Saving internet and cloud data from extreme weather is what we're about. To that end, we're advancing a new *Certification* for internet resilience, that will keep critical infrastructure connected to vital data, before, during and after extreme weather.
