Cable & Wireless
Cable and Wireless is the leading telecommunications company in the West Indies, and furnishes land line and wireless communications throughout Jamaica. AFT’s contract was to survey the island’s cell/switch sites and to furnish detection/suppression systems. With over 40 sites, a variety of systems were installed, including FM 200 for the main switch rooms, detection and control for the office areas, and water mist systems for the generator rooms. The systems were designed to the same standard which made It easier for Cable and Wireless personnel to service the systems.
