About the team
The Capacity Restoration Team (CRT) sits within Backbone Enterprise Regional Engineering (BERE) organization. Our mission is to own end-to-end restoration of out-of-service inter-metro and intra-metro network capacity.

CRT reduces operational backlog improves network health monitoring systems and drives time-to-remediate (TTR) down. Today a significant network capacity is out of service at any given time.
