Where "eventually" seems to vary a LOT. I've observed hold up times as
long as 8+ hours all the way down to "well, I guess there was a minor
power glitch at the nearest power injection point
This is already how much of the cable networks operate.
Power goes out and the pole mounted nodes go out eventually.

Agreed, specifically talking about small/micro cells.

Most towers can survive a brown/blackout lasting a few minutes
(usually enough to last the safety system cycling and the fuses blowing
on a grounded
I can tell you that most carriers have neither type, at least in the US.

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
The feasibility of back hauling power from a central location is almost zero.
Conduit can be direct buried and then fiber shot through it, this would be
almost impossible with DC power cables.
Keep in mind that WPS already provides priority to “priority” traffic.

Matt,
You're correct that if most of these small cells goes offline during a
power outage, the remaining macro cells would not be able to handle the
load well.
Data would be nearly useless and phone/texts may be sporadic.
I believe that when this happens, they should proactively block or limit
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
This is a small cell. They are very common across all of the carriers.
It is NOT intended to provide primary coverage for the area.
It IS intended to provide additional capacity to the immediate area.
Think of the large cell towers as providing blanket coverage, while small
cells provide hot
