The heavy snowfall is keeping the entire country in suspense. Not only traffic, but also electricity lines and mobile phone masts are affected by the enormous amounts of snow. Krone+ has discovered how network providers prepare for possible power outages, what dangers lurk on the network and what you can do in the event of a failure.
Recently, widespread mobile and landline outages affected approximately nine million Australians. They were disconnected from the network and inaccessible for nine hours. Thirty hospitals were affected by the outage, metro traffic came to a standstill and companies were unable to process payments. In total, about 14 million Australians felt the impact. The cause was identified as a scheduled update. Optus routers would likely have received incorrect routing information with the update. But disruptions also occur in Austria. Especially in the winter months. Snow, ice and fallen trees can cause broken lines and therefore network disruptions.
