Prometheus Phase 3 : Funding Completed

With the prolific adoption of dual polarity links throughout the Deep South the time has come to upgrade the Prometheus-King02 backbone link to ensure that Prometheus can supply these areas with sufficient backhaul capacity to the rest of the wug.

This upgrade also ensures that Prometheus doesn’t become the bottleneck for other upcoming projects such as the upgrading of the Prometheus-Mercury backbone link which will form part of the Mercury upgrade project.
