T-Mobile Says Its Network Is Ready for Hurricane Helene

T-Mobile emergency teams were activated “in anticipation of the severe winds up to 125 mph, 8-12 inches of rain and potentially fatal storm surge Hurricane Helene may bring across Florida, Alabama and Georgia,” the carrier said Thursday. It sent emergency operations centers, “large RVs with network management and monitoring equipment,” satellite cells and other satellite equipment, portable generators and other gear to the area, the company said. It has also been topping off fuel at permanent generators along Helene’s expected path. “T-Mobile’s network modernization allows local teams to swiftly and digitally fine-tune network coverage, focusing on critical areas to boost signal concentration as needed.”
