DP=Distribution Point.
FWP= Fixed wireless point
FWT=Fixed wireless terminal(like Indicom walky or Garuda phones)
Ref Esbee above post 2;he's right
But if its a MUMBAI MTNL landline based DP or even Airtel land line DP;it will nor require a backup power supply as its powered via the local exchange
Landlines are not based on your 220v power supply like the modem or desktop which need a quick response time
UPS
Even in power failures as long as MTNL/Airtel landline exchange is on backup power you will have seamless connectivity
It will only fail if your desktop/Modem UPS has a slow switchover and resets the connection after the drop.
I never heard about wireless DP's.
Those would be the FWP boxes..NOT DP... we see at Reliance or Indicom PCO's in Mumbai
One FWP tranciever for multiple FWT phones with separate numbers
Ofcourse they would need back up in places outside Mumbai, that have loadshedding
There is quite a bit of load shedding where I live. So I was thinking of buying
inverter for continuous internet connectivity. But I have to make sure that my understanding is correct and hence, this post.
I remember the Airtel tech guy telling me that they come through MSAN exchange (sp?) in my area.
Thanks for all the info. Not sure I understand all of it though.
