Does anyone know if vodafone's cellular network is ment to continue to operate during a power outage? Or for what length of time the cell towers are ment to continue operating.

Was just thinking that during Napier's power outages on Monday, there was no coverage throughout the city yet Telecom was working fine. This was within seconds of the power going out. Telecom continued right through.

Has vodafone said if they care about this sort of stuff?

I remember telecom advertising the resiliency of its network a few years ago with some sort of fancy advertisment that showed how they have backup generators in all the exchanges and would think that continues into their cellular network as it did last monday.
