Importance Score: 55 / 100 πŸ”΅

COPENHAGEN β€” Key satellite communication services, including internet and phone access, have been disrupted in isolated areas of Greenland, as reported by the Arctic territory’s telecom firm late on Monday. The company is examining whether this issue is linked to an extensive power outage that impacted Spain.

Satellite Infrastructure Affected

In an official declaration, Tusass, Greenland’s telecommunications provider, confirmed the loss of connectivity to its satellite hardware situated in Spain. This infrastructure is crucial for delivering telephone, internet, television, and radio services.

The Impact in Greenland

Tusass stated, “Currently, we have no contact with our equipment in Maspalomas, Spain. This infrastructure is essential for serving our customers in the satellite coverage zone.”

Areas and Population Affected

The disruption primarily affects distant hamlets. The full extent of the affected population remains unclear.

Spain’s Power Restoration Efforts

Late on Monday, efforts to restore power began in various regions of the Iberian Peninsula following a significant outage that temporarily halted most services in Spain and Portugal.

  • Administrative steps are ongoing to address the blackout’s effect on spanish telecommunications infrastructure.
