Usage

To use this template, include it on a telecommunications facility page with the desired parameters, for example:

{{Telecommunications
 | Has description = It is a major termination point for several high-capacity, subsea fiber optic cables that link the U.S. with the Asia-Pacific market, providing global access with low latency.
 | Has services = fiber optic carriers, Server Hotel, service providers
 | Has provider = fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty (1547) and Harrison Street
