• I-Team: New data line could aid Coachella Valley's breakdown-ridden 911 system (kesq.com) — Recent 911 outages, including a July 31 breakdown in Cathedral City, have exposed how vulnerable Coachella Valley's emergency call system is when data lines are cut. A new state-funded middle-mile fiber line running through the valley should add crucial redundancy within months, which local police say will significantly improve reliability for residents who depend on fast emergency response.
