The work continues in Florida and Georgia to repair damaged fiber. Progress today resulted in four more cell sites on air.

A critical site in Mexico Beach is now providing coverage for residents who remained and first responders in that community. Two additional sites are up east of Panama City covering the area north of Alford and I-10 area, the town of Wausau and the Washington County EOC. A tower covering an area north of Panama City where Highway 231 and US 98 meet is also back on air using repaired fiber.
