Bell Canada is ramping up its efforts to combat copper cable theft in New Brunswick with a new strategy aimed at catching thieves in the act. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Bell has recently installed aerial alarms across its network to detect incidents of theft.
\n\u2013 These alarms are designed to contact the police immediately upon detecting any suspicious activity.
\n\u2013 Last month, Bell\u2019s alarm in Fredericton successfully alerted the RCMP after a cable was cut, leading to the arrest of two suspects.
\n\u2013 Marc Duchesne, Vice President of Corporate Security and Responsibility at Bell, emphasized the importance of protecting critical infrastructure from vandals to ensure reliable communication networks for Canadians.<\/p>\n
Points cl\u00e9s:
\n\u2013 Nearly 1,000 physical security incidents have been reported since the beginning of 2022, with 87% related to copper theft.
\n\u2013 The provinces most affected by these incidents are Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick.
\n\u2013 Each incident requires approximately 10-12 hours of repair work, resulting in downtime for essential services like home phone, TV, internet, and emergency services.<\/p>\n
In response to the surge in copper wire thefts, Bell has taken legal action and called for changes in legislation to better protect its networks. Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing issue. Let\u2019s work together to ensure a secure and connected future for all Canadians.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
