Have you any idea how remote these are?

Typically 40-70km, and they don't have that much kit either.
The whole last 30 miles is essentially passive...until
you get to CPE.


And the backhaul it relies upon after that is the same as copper based 
signals anyway.

In short it should be *more* reliable in a power cut apart from the CPE.

If you want redundancy buy your won bloody batteries

   We do.

   Alas your "more reliable" fiber ... HOW much "more"
   in a disaster situation ? Never seen it quantified.
   Claims - but no numbers, no field data.

   When that big hurricane pushed up into the central USA
   all towers/fiber/whatever went DOWN, pretty fast, TOO
   fast ... a lot of people perished because they could
   not even call for help. Authorities had to scrounge
   up a lot of sat-phones/StarLink quick. Wasn't quick
   enough.

   Maybe you live in some magical place where nothing
   serious ever happens ???

Depends on te disaster. 100% OK in floods., Not so much earthquakes.
But then neither is copper.

Ukraine shows that best  comms in a war is Starlink or fibre. line of 
sight RF doesnmt survive jamming

No,. I live in a place where  very serious things have happened, and 
technology evolved to deal with them

By and large we are bot worried about theoretical possibilities.

We can look at Ukraine to see what survives a war zone.

It turns out to be fiber

" Fiber-optic drones began proliferating across other areas of the 
front, graduating from a niche capability to a staple weapon. Their use 
has since expanded to such an extent that vast swaths of Ukrainian 
farmland and forest are now littered with fiber-optic cables shed by 
drones. Fiber-optic drones have also featured prominently in a series of 
major battles, including the most consequential fighting of the past 
year in the Pokrovsk region of eastern Ukraine.

By mid-2025, the fiber-optic drone story was no longer so one-sided as 
Ukraine moved to replicate and adapt the capability. Domestic production 
surged thanks to Ukraine’s agile ecosystem of innovative defense tech 
startups. Within months, more than 80 Ukrainian-designed fiber-optic 
systems had been approved for use, while the number of Ukrainian 
companies involved in producing or integrating this category of drones 
has rapidly expanded.

Ukrainian developers are now pushing the boundaries of range, with the 
country’s famous Birds of Magyar drone unit fielding a fiber-optic drone 
model capable of reaching approximately forty kilometers. What began as 
a Russian experiment has evolved into a mutual innovation cycle in which 
Ukraine is now leading in certain aspects. "


https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/fiber-optics-drones-have-emerged-as-critical-kit-for-both-russia-and-ukraine/

When you cab lay a 40knm fiber using a drone its not hard to get a basic 
comms net up.
Other methods using RF in non conflict areas include starlink type 
satellites, in LEO, or any form of 'high point' RF hotspot using e.g. 
balloons, loitering aircraft or  drones, or simply high terrain.

Given advances in battery, drone  and fibre technology, it would be far 
quicker and simpler to run a fibre controlled drone equipped with 3G etc 
into a disaster zone than lay in new copper

   The FIBER itself may be very thin, but the stuff
   you run for permanent installations is heavily
   clad in tough plastic. For the mil apps, it's
   uncoated ... has to be ultra light to drag 40-50km
   behind a drone. Also, well, a ONE WAY TRIP is
   the goal .....

   Sheesh ... have you looked into all the PROPERTY RIGHTS

   NOW, typically. Not THAT long ago, it was just a
   PVC clad wire. Expect LOTS of 'legacy' installs.

I remember reading about TOW missiles beck in the '70s or '80s. My first 
thought was if you had to keep the aiming device on target you were 
exposed. To keep the math simple, if you targeted something near the 
maximum range of 3000 m with a missile moving at 300 m/sec you were in the 
breeze for a long time. I think I would prefer a fire-and-forget missile.

   On the whole I agree fully - shoot and DUCK !

   In Ukraine though, the target may be 30+ KM away,
   you're not likely to have someone immediately
   shooting back at you.

   JAMMING is the big problem with RF manual guidance.
   In the news I'm seeing more and more stories about
   how both Russian and Ukrainian drones are suddenly
   showing up in the wrong countries - both sides are
   using jammers on them. Laser-spot guidance ... at
   least in the day it's harder to track the beam back
   to YOU, but at night ...

   Oh well, the usual - what one side comes up with the
   other will discover how to thwart the next week.

I find many articles about long range fiber optic guided missiles but most 
of them end with the program being terminated. Interesting idea though. It 
might get messy with 30 km long strands of fibers draped over trees and so 
forth. They probably weren't biodegradable too and might put wildlife at 
risk. 

I was curious about the short range TOWs too.

   I'm sure it gets "messy" trailing 30-50km long
   naked ultra-thin fibers. VERY good chance they'll
   get broken en-route.

   But, if the opponent gets too good at jamming
   projectiles using other tech ......

   This IS apparently the case now.

   Russia has been jamming conventional GPS for
   quite awhile now - throwing off coords by a
   good KM or so. Ukraine MAY have been given
   access to US/NATO special GPS sats, but no
   doubt Russia has salvaged such guidance
   systems and reverse-engineered one or more
   solutions.

   A new alt is super-rez 'inertial' guidance
   using light-loop tech. Set yer start coords
   EXACTLY and they're good for a fair distance
   and time. I read that Poland and the Baltics
   were looking into this once Russia started
   jamming GPS. Smallish cheapish chips now.

   I think they're used in some civvie drones
   already. A company came by to demonstrate its
   drone - hovered perfectly still even in kinda
   gusty winds. You could poke at it and it'd
   bounce back almost instantly. That's not GPS,
   its super-sensitive tri-axis accelerometers.

Full circle. One of the drivers for GPS is if you fire a ballistic missile 
from a submarine it helps to know exactly where you are.

It's so light but it can maintain position in a gentle breeze. No GPS. It 
uses a down facing camera. Neat idea and it came with a SDK to control it 
over BlueTooth.  It was $99 when I bought it. 

I've got a larger drone but it's strictly manual control like an old-time 
RC plane.

   Yep, kinda "full circle". The new/better tech was, big
   surprise, more VULNERABLE in more WAYS.

   Hmm ... wouldn't have immediately thought of using
   a camera ground image as a reference. Not THE best,
   but apparently CAN work within limits.

   What happens if the drone is going over WATER ???

   The accelerometers, now hyper-sensitive AND cheap,
   are the current Best Option.

   Good enough for fun.

   "Commercial" though, much better IS expected. Fully
   self-navigating especially. GPS is pretty good in
   a friendly zone, but NOT in a tech war zone now.

   Where I worked DID hire the mentioned drone firm
   to do various things In The Field. You could launch
   it from anywhere, it'd zoom to EXACT coordinates
   and then begin its complicated runs. Then it'd
   return exactly to like a one meter circle after.
   These were not terribly large drones either ...
   might carry 20-40 lbs of stuff.

   We USED to use airplanes for such things ... but
   the pop density became too great, MANY complaints
   from people thinking they were being attacked - or
   super-annoyed with the noise. So, little drones.
   Mostly they didn't even see them.

Yep.  What they provide is, hopefully, enough time to call the electric 
utility to report your power being out.  But for extended outages, yes, 
within at most one day (and that assumes the batteries still contain 
their original energy amounts) you'll be out of communication.

Also true.  They supply the original battery, but you get to pay to 
replace it when it wears out over time.  And both wear out over time.  
The lead acid from being kept charged, the D cells from self discharge.

Worse! They don't even supply the original battery! I had to buy my own 
as well as the unit. And most people don't even bother and then are 
surprised when their phone doesn't work when the power goes out.

At one point the battery was low on my original battery and the ONT did 
start beeping every 15 minutes, which was annoying. A Verizon tech 
happened to be visiting for something else and he got a kick out of 
seeing some vintage telephones around the home, so I got lucky and he 
gave me a free replacement battery from the truck. Not sure if that was 
any skin off his nose... but might have to fake a service call the next 
time it runs low and see if I can pull the same trick!

Here the normal thing is to connect traditional phones to the ONT. They 
maintain the fantasy that everything was as it were (and charge the same 
prices). Actually, if you ask them, it is not possible to connect real 
VoIP phones.

Same here with Verizon FIOS.  My ONT has an ethernet port, a coax port 
for cable TV, and either a modular jack or screw down terminals for 
POTS wiring (or it might have both the modular jack and the screw down 
terminals).

If I had their phone service, the ONT would act as the "central office" 
and provide the 48v standby, 60v RMS AC ring signal, and handle the D/A 
and A/D conversion from old analog POTS to however Verizon carries 
digitized voice phone data over FIOS when that feature is enabled.

Effectively, the ONT is /acting like/ one of those POTS to VOIP 
adapters, just using whatever protocol Verizon uses behind the scenes 
to carry the data.  That protocol might just be VOIP, it might be 
something else, needless to say, they do not tell customers what it is 
nor provide us any normal access into that part of the system.

In my case, it is actually VoIP and you can connect to it on your 
computer. The details have been reverse engineered.

    I bought some batteries, but they weren't
    included - so I had to buy them again.
