Data Sources of Phuket Local Connect
PLC describes each data source in one of three states only and never implies a partnership or connection that has not been established.
PLC uses only three connection states: Connected, Pilot manual import, and Under assessment — no connection. This page does not publish speculative API frequencies, does not use the phrase 'future partner', and does not show unsupported active connection statuses.
