Sec. Sean Duffy: We Have Changed Out 60% of Copper to Fiber, They’re Going to Take Our Network from Analog to Digital

EXCERPT:

DUFFY: “Thus far, we have changed out 60 percent of the copper to fiber. Once we get done switching over to fiber, we're then going to have to take our network from analog to digital. Don't laugh at us. Most companies have done this years ago. We are about to do that here at the FAA. We have installed 96 surface awareness systems like the one we are going to deploy today here at Newark. We have deployed 9 new radar systems, 363 analog radios that we use between air traffic controllers and our pilots and airplanes. That's going from analog to digital. 19 towers have been converted to electronic flight strips. We have 151 new voice switch systems across America.”
