St. Paul, MN (KROC-AM News) - The 911 service outage that hit southeastern Minnesota yesterday is now being blamed on faulty equipment.
CenturyLink, which now operates under the name Lumen Technologies, is the provider of Minnesota s 911 service. It was initially reported that a cut fiber optic line was to blame for the outage but the company now puts the blame on a bad card connected to a large national fiber line in Green Bay Wisconsin. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says the issue was resolved and the service restored after engineers rebooted the equipment.
