Network equipment installation for the Optical Transport Network (OTN) equipment shelters remodels are scheduled to begin next week starting with Hibbing and continuing to Mountain Iron, Cloquet, Citon and UMD. It will take an estimated three days at each site for the installs. For the OTN prefabricated shelters, electrical is expected to be powered at Barnum and Floodwood this week, with testing and inspection to follow. The remainder of the sites have been prepared for additional equipment and battery arrival. 
Splicing at the remodel facilities will begin at the end of March into the first week of April. The equipment from Cyan will arrive in mid-April, with network provisioning and testing to follow.
