Record-Breaking Storm in Latvia

Last week, Latvia and neighbouring Lithuania were struck by a devastating storm, causing widespread power outages and severe disruptions. Tragically, the storm claimed lives and left thousands without electricity. The storm's aftermath included fallen trees, damaged infrastructure, and extensive flooding in both countries.

At RETN, network services availability and our customers keeping connected, even in the face of severe conditions, is our top priority. Our robust underground network ensures that our clients stay online, and their operations remain uninterrupted.

While many providers use aerial fiber deployment, which is quicker and cheaper to install, our underground approach ensures that our customers continue to experience exceptional connectivity. During the recent storm, our network maintained 100% uptime, proving the unmatched reliability of our services.

With the current weather challenges, the resilience of our infrastructure truly stands out. Our metro network in Riga, like the rest of our fiber network, is underground. This offers unparalleled advantages:

• Weather Resistance: Protected from the destructive forces of wind and ice.
• Durability: Less susceptible to damage from wildlife and other above-ground threats.
• Climate Resilience: Maintains performance even during extreme weather events, ensuring consistent connectivity.
