  The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is the largest single dish telescope
in the world focused on sub-millimeter astronomy - and it remains at the
forefront of sub-millimeter discovery space. JCMT continues itspush for higher
efficiency and greater science impact with a switch to fully remote operation.
This switch toremote operations occurred on November 1st 2019. The switch to
remote operations should be recognized to bepart of a decade long process
involving incremental changes leading to Extended Observing - observing
beyondthe classical night shift - and eventually to full remote operations. The
success of Remote Observing is indicatedin the number of productive hours and
continued low fault rate from before and after the switch.
