You've probably got backup plans for your printers, your important documents, and your computers--but would you know how to keep your phones working during a power outage? Today we'll look at a few tips and tricks that can help you stay prepared for anything.
During a Power Outage
A power outage seems like it might halt business, right? Your workflows, your projects, your communication lines would all be frozen, unable to proceed--or would they? The good news is that there are fast and easy ways to make sure your phone systems stay functional even during a power outage. This allows you to stay in contact and keep your most important processes running so that you're ready to jump back into action when the power returns.
Always invest in backup batteries.
One easy way to make sure your phone systems stay online is to invest in different types of backup battery sources. Mobile devices can connect to portable power "packs" that will keep them alive for awhile--or you could use car chargers or solar-powered devices. On top of that, you might want to consider an Uninterruptible Power Supply that will keep your network devices and Internet up and running.
Cut down on power usage.
There are a lot of ways to limit how much power your smartphone is using. Consider minimizing screen brightness, shutting down non-vital processes, and turning off background apps like Wi-fi or Bluetooth. There are plenty of free apps you can use to identify the best plan of action when it comes to saving power.
Utilize Power-over-Ethernet Phones.
This unique solution utilizes Ethernet cables to power your phones as long as they're not plugged into the wall. It is often used in combination with an Uninterruptible Power Supply, and, luckily, is easy to use.
