Wall Street Journal: A newly installed router caused widespread disruption on US flights.
The Wall Street Journal reported that a router recently installed in the state of Arkansas, by sending a large amount of data to the old communications network of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), disrupted 17 of the 22 air traffic control centers in the state.
🔴 According to this newspaper, officials were able to resume air traffic control operation by disconnecting the routers located in Arkansas and Texas.
🔴 American officials are investigating the possible role of equipment failure or improper installation in the occurrence of this disruption and have warned that until the network is renewed in 2028, there is a possibility of repeating outages of this type.
