It became clear that operators must increase the autonomy of their infrastructures, especially antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><br>Websites were available, but the lack of communications limited their use as channels between companies and users during an emergency.<br>For many hours, customers were unable to update them, and users were unable to access them in Portugal (and Spain). Hence many people were limited to radio for information.<br>It has become clear that it is important to improve the requirements that operators have to meet, so that infrastructure such as antennas, for example, continue to function during a blackout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Posts<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/activity-7327682049098539008-pcWo?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAAAP-O7MBhH9whGAXZdr_hhS4nIvvjd7NlfA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"4130\" src=\"https:\/\/estreia.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grafico1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Impact of a Power Outage on 10 Websites -
