Edpnet would like to inform you of the availability of our services during the possible powercuts.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our government and the media already communicated about the possible power shortage in the next coming months. It is possible that rotational electrical power cuts will be executed in order to avoid a general power outage at any time.
These power cuts will be executed in phases, per areas, presumably during peak hours (between 17h and 20h).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the government launched the campaign “Off\/On” with the aim to provide as much useful information as possible and to answer the many questions you are facing: www.offon.be<\/a><\/p>\n

You can visit following pages as well:

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

Will there be a power cut for my area? <\/h3>\n

The edpnet colocation is not included in a region for a possible power cut. Moreover our colocation is equipped with a UPS system and a backup power supply.  Edpnet will still be reachable by phone as well.<\/p>\n

You can check whether your street is included or not on following sites:
– http:\/\/economie.fgov.be\/nl\/elektriciteitsschaarste\/afschakelplan\/kaarten<\/a>
– http:\/\/economie.fgov.be\/fr\/penurie_electricite\/plan-delestage\/cartes<\/a>
You can also register on http:\/\/be-alert.be<\/a> (address, two phone numbers, two e-mail addresses) and you will be notified 24 hours in advance via text message and email if there will be a power cut. This is a service offered by the federal government.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Will everything still work? <\/h3>\n

First and foremost, if the power is interrupted locally and you do not have a back-up power supply, your edpnet services are interrupted immediately. Your modem\/router will go offline.<\/p>\n

Devices with batteries, e.g. mobile phones or portable phones will function until the battery is empty. Provided that the underlying service remains operational.
