Although our main office here has generator power, what do all the intermediary unmanaged network sites typically have for DC power along the way ? One of my local fibre providers told me that the remote hut we are off of only will last until about 9:30pm tonight and then bye bye. Is that typical to have 6hrs battery ? I am sure its all over the map from provider to provider, but does anyone know what Bell Canada (my other local loop provider) typical aims for in terms of battery power for remote huts ?

Of course it varies from location to location. Generally, after 8-12
hours we will start seeing infrastructure problems as remote batteries
run down. Providers will be re-charging batteries with portable
generators, but predicting battery lifetimes is as much art as science.
Sometimes the battery doesn't last as long as predicted.
Thanks. A couple of people told me that the target is 8hrs for Bell Canada huts. So hopefully some power will make it there before long. Not sure how well they will prioritize what huts to charge with portable gensets. I imagine they dont of course have a portable genset for every hut out there.
