There is power backup and then there is power backup. The former is a small power pack (batteries, supercapacitors, whatever) that will allow the microcell to weather a short blackout or brownout. We are talking seconds, to bridge switching transits. To be useful in a deployment, such a

Most of the small or micro cells are there to add data capacity not necessary device count, which are two different things. However, where they are added to augment device count we will have problems if they are not backed up. As the tech shrinks and battery tech improves this will become

It will be interesting to see how this plays out as reliance on these small cells for capacity grows. I'd imagine demand for cellular bandwidth goes up during a power outage and not down. Is it reasonable to think that there could be a situation where cell capacity is not available during a time
