The company Cirion Technologies began technical inspection work at the point of damage to the submarine cable damaged by earthquakes in Venezuela, as well as the execution of integrity and connectivity tests.

After the arrival of the Wave Sentinel vessel in domestic waters and the completion of the entry procedures, the company indicated that they are moving forward with the identification of the two ends of the cable.

In addition, as reported by the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN), the company explained that an underwater robot descended to the site of the cut to locate the affected ends, while carrying out the evaluations that will allow defining the immediate steps for their repair.

He also noted that the results of these tests will determine the scope of the technical tasks that will be carried out in the infrastructure and that this phase represents the materialization of the recovery schedule.

The contingency plan included the stabilization of the network, the progressive expansion of capacity, regulatory efforts and the transfer of the Wave Sentinel vessel to Venezuela to intervene in the submarine system.

On the other hand, the company indicated that the next updates will focus on the condition of the cable and the progress of repair work.
