i MAINTENANCE AND EMERGENCY BACK-UP GENERATOR TESTING Verizon Wireless installs a standby generator and batteries at all of its cell sites. The generator and batteries serve a vital role in Verizon Wireless' emergency and disaster preparedness plan. In the event of a power outage, Verizon Wireless' communications equipment will first transition over to the back-up batteries. The batteries can run the site for a few hours depending upon the demand placed upon the equipment. Should the power outage extend beyond the capacity of the batteries, the back-up generator will automatically start and continue to run the site. This two stage back-up plan is an extremely important component of every Verizon Wireless communications site. As one of the nation's largest wireless companies, Verizon Wireless is the mobile phone service of choice to many federal, state, and local public safety agencies..While many public safety agencies employ their own two-way radio systems for intra-agency communications, Verizon Wireiess phones are often the link to other agencies and the outside world. Back-up batteries and generators allow Verizon Wireless' communications sites to continue providing valuable communications services in the event of a power outage, natural disaster or other emergency. h E A standby generator will be installed at the site to ensure quality and consistent coverage in the event of a power outage or disaster.
