⚡ Power outages, battery backup & service continuity

Last updated on Feb 06, 2026

What happens during a power outage

Most nbn® services require local power to operate. During a power outage:

  • nbn® equipment may stop working

  • Internet and VoIP services may be unavailable

  • Lift phones may be impacted without backup

Battery backup options

Depending on your setup, continuity may be supported by:

  • Modem battery backup

  • Mobile network failover

  • External power solutions (UPS)

Not all services include backup by default.

Planning for critical services

Businesses using:

  • Phone systems

  • Emergency Lift Phones

  • Security or monitoring services

Should assess power and redundancy requirements carefully.
