Southern Cross Joins PIRC

Date:01/02/2004

Southern Cross has been unanimously voted in as a member of the Pacific & Indian Ocean Restoration Committee (PIRC).

The PIRC held its annual meeting in Guam in October and invited Southern Cross to give a presentation on the Southern Cross Cable Network’s restoration capabilities.

The PIRC provides an important forum for Restoration Liaison Officers (RLO’s) from cable companies based in the Pacific and Indian Oceans to meet and discuss restoration issues and policies, said Southern Cross Network Administrator David Clampett, who attended the Guam event.

“These meetings are valuable not only because they provide a useful forum for the exchange of restoration capacity agreements but because they help to facilitate trust and cooperation between the submarine cable companies, customers and carriers operating in the Pacific and Indian Ocean zones and this will be likely to have important benefits for submarine cable providers further down the track,” Mr Clampett added.
