Apparently phone service via fibre is not an essential service in the legislation of many countries,
I would be surprised if a fibre services is an essentially service in any country. Well, perhaps in some of the former Eastern European countries where they were able to skip forward a lot.
so they don't need to handle coverage full time at high reliability. So a battery is optional, I mean, up to the company.
AFAIK, for emergency service, Swisscom's policy is to rely on the mobile network. I don't know of any fibre or adsl modem/routers being installed with batteries.
In my case, the phone is handled not by the router, but by a device called ONT, which does the conversion from fibre to Ethernet. The router is connected to it, and it also could handle the phone, but doesn't. It would be perfectly possible to design it with a battery, it must draw an small standby current. It would also be possible to charge extra for the optional battery, it would be better than the current situation of no battery at all. So I have ONT + Router + TV desco, plus *many* cables. Currently, the same company uses a single box. I have not seen it, don't know if it has a battery. Mobile network for emergencies... Well, after some hours they need recharging. And that network typically saturates easily. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
