Cellular operators purchased 13,000 generators for communication during outages Ukrainian cellular operators have placed 13,000 backup generators near central network facilities to ensure stable communications during power outages, said the head of the Statistics Office, Oksana Parchuk. She emphasized that preparing for long-term outages remains one of the department's priorities, since cellular networks cannot work without electricity. Currently, the Ministry of Statistics, self-governing bodies and local operators are working on algorithms for starting generators, their maintenance and fuel supply. Parchuk also noted that the total amount of equipment purchased is not equal to the number of base stations that will be able to work at the same time. To evaluate the stability of the network, the number of stations actually connected, the time of their autonomous operation and the speed of operation are decisive.
