Telone to replace stolen cables

FIXED telecommunication services provider Telone is set to link Alaska mine and surrounding areas near Chinhoyi with the rest of the country several months after the area was cut off from communication links following theft and vandalism of infrastructure.

Telone Public Relations Executive Phil Chingwaru said “the company will recover an aerial distribution cable from Raffingora and replace the one stolen from Alaska”.

He however warned that should the cables be stolen again subscribers will have to wait for the putting in place of the coded division multiple access system which operates on the lines of radio communication systems.

“The aerial distribution cable linking Alaska to the fixed tele communication net work was stolen about three to four times in recent years,” he said.

Chingwaru added that a permanent solution to the provision of communication services in Alaska, Lion’s Den and Shackleton area lies in the establishment of the coded division multiple assess system which is not prone to vandalism.
