Technology to Weather the Storm

Summer Storm Season is Here

Prepare for Power Outages with the Right Tech



This week, we have a different kind of Friday Quick Tip. Summer Storm Season has arrived,  and for many, that means winds, rains, and possible flooding. It also means power outages. Sometimes these outages are brief; other times they last for hours.  And for a lot of us, that means no technology. Modems and routers need power to function. And how many times has your phone's battery died, and it was ALL you had for entertainment during a storm?  Luckily, there is technology to help keep your tech useful during bad weather, and all that comes with it.

Today's tip discusses what tech you need to prepare your electronics for a bad storm.  Basically, we discuss how to keep things up and powered, so you're not stuck with nothing to watch when a storm hits other than the bad weather. With the right equipment, you can keep your electronics up and working.  And we're not talking about buying generators that cost hundreds of dollars.  Rather, we're talking about solutions that cost less than your average night out.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

In this case, UPS stands for "uninterruptible power supply," rather than the guys who deliver all your packages.  In other words, a UPS is a device that allows a computer to keep running for a period of time when the power goes out. It also provides protection from power surges.
