Here is a way to protect your Internet connection from power failures in your home. The APC PowerShield model CP18C12NA2 battery backup unit works for cable telephony, wireless local loop, fiber to the home, VoIP and VoDSL.

"APC’s outdoor PowerShield 18-watt product provides home users, small businesses and others using bundled communications services with a reliable battery backup to keep vital telecommunications services up and running in the event of a power outage,” said Dwight Sperry, general manager of APC’s Business Network Solutions Group. “Our latest PowerShield product benefits a wide range of users from those with high-end bandwidth business applications to the residential customer.... Also, service providers will appreciate how accessible this product is since it is mounted to an outside wall and this makes future battery replacement a snap.”

The PowerShield 18-watt 12 VDC product provides battery backup runtime for up to eight hours. In addition to providing battery backup during a power outage, it also notifies the end user and the service provider of weak battery conditions, as well as when the battery is in use, missing, or if the battery is not properly connected.
