Does the latest ONT's have battery backup?

Go to solution

As per title. Does the latest ONT's have battery backup?

Just wondering if they do or not as I use a UPS and hopefully the engineer will be able to put the ONT beside all my other network gear in the living room including my UPS.

Is it possible to purchase a third party BBU that will work with it ?

If the mains supply fails then the ONT will have no power ( so no service ) , you could buy a uninterruptible power supply (UPS/BBU) and plug the ONT into that so that in the event of a main fail the ONT keeps working ( for a while ) , obviously the router would need to also be plugged into a UPS and depending on the phone instrument that could need power too

It's no problem anyway mate as it's just running of my UPS, the UPS I have just powers my network gear and my 2 Synology NAS's which are set to auto shut down if a power failure occurs, which is why I bought it in the first place to protect my expensive HDD's and data. I'm only using 13% of the UPS so during an outage it gives me about 2 1/2 hours up time before powering down altogether, hopefully by that time the main power will have returned to normal 🙂

As stated in my original post I already use a UPS mate🙂
