Connectivity Restored

Crews have completed the patch to the severed fiber and connectivity for Worthington Dispatch and the Huntley Rd tower has been restored. 

Fishel Co will continue to work through the night to complete repairs. Short circuit interruptions may occur until work is finalized tomorrow. 

Thanks for your patience and understanding during this outage. 

SYSTEM OUTAGE ALERT

The DubLink fiber system was cut by a contractor working at Village Parkway and Tuller road this afternoon. There is large group of workers from Fishel on-site at the cut working to make repairs, but they anticipate this work could continue well into the evening.

 

This cut currently affects the consoles at Worthington PD and the link to the Huntley Road Tower - both of which are off line until the cut is repaired. Users can continue to stay on COIRS talk-groups as the Delaware sites along with the Hard Road and Avery Road sites are up an functional. Dispatchers at Worthington will need to use their back up control stations to communicate.

 

A notice will be sent when the work is complete.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

OARNet Maintenance

All COIRS System Users: 

OARnet has notified us they will be doing maintenance to the fiber network that support our system TOMORROW MORNING (11/28) starting at 04:00 and lasting approximately two hours. There will be connection outages during this time frame that will cause the consoles to lose connection and the system to go into site trunking. The outages could last longer than 16 minutes at a time and may occur several times. Dispatchers will need to use back up radios/walkies during these outages. Field units will receive the "SITE TRUNKING" notice on their radios, but can continue to operate on their normal talk-groups. 

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Jay Somerville.
