Earlier today, reports emerged nationwide of a major cellular service outage impacting millions. From coast to coast, users dealt with dropped calls, delayed messages, and limited data—an eye-opening reminder of just how reliant we’ve become on constant connectivity.
But for many, it was more than a minor disruption. Businesses faced hurdles processing transactions. Families struggled to check on loved ones. Travelers found themselves without GPS or emergency access. In some places, even backup communication tools failed as cell networks went dark.
As providers like Verizon work to bring systems back online, this incident drives home a sobering reality:
Our critical infrastructure can—and sometimes does—fail without notice.
The Power Behind the Signal
Cell towers, routers, Wi-Fi, and communication backups all run on one crucial element: electricity. When a power outage hits at the same time as a network failure, the fallout grows fast and far-reaching.
That’s why today’s emergency kits need more than flashlights and canned goods. Reliable backup power is key to keeping vital tech running when both the grid and the network are down.
