AT&T is paying the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory to predict climate-related events that could damage the company's infrastructure over the next 30 years.
The tool will track flooding, hurricane and wind storms in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, according to Charlene Lake, AT&T's chief sustainability officer and senior vice president for public affairs. The company plans to extend climate projections across the country, and track wildfires and droughts as well.
"Our customers and community depends on our service during natural disaster time and the resilience of our business and network," she said, adding that AT&T will share its climate data with municipalities and universities to use for analysis. Scott Mair, AT&T's president of operations, said that the model will guide decisions on whether to elevate cell sites in areas with expected flooding, or to build protections around cell towers in areas with expected higher winds.
