Keep working when the power drops

A short power cut is enough to corrupt a file or crash a till. Backup power (UPS) bridges that, and shuts everything down calmly when it lasts longer.

The government asks you to be more resilient

51%

of businesses said in the spring of 2026 that they take no precautions against outages of power, internet and more.

The ministry urges business owners to write their own emergency plan, through the Denk Vooruit campaign.

Start small

Backup power is one of the simplest steps. It keeps your equipment running when the grid drops.

Internet stays on longer

A router, a switch and wifi use little power. With a larger battery they can stay on for hours. We calculate how long that is for you.

One caveat

Your internet provider needs power too. That is why we recommend a second connection, such as mobile internet. In a large outage it can slow down.

What you get

You know how long you keep working

We add up what is plugged in and calculate how long you can keep working. You know up front how many minutes you get.

Fits your equipment

Chosen to fit, not a standard model that happened to be in the shop.

Less risk of damage

If the power stays off longer, connected devices shut down cleanly where possible.

What backup power does and does not do

For your whole office, backup power bridges minutes. It keeps your work safe in a short cut and gives you time to finish or shut down. If you only keep the internet on, it can be hours.

For longer outages you need a different plan, such as a standby generator. That is a separate choice, and we are happy to talk it through.

Common questions

How long does backup power last?

That depends on what is plugged into it. For just a router, switch and wifi it can be hours, for a whole office minutes. We measure it and tell you up front what you get.

What goes on the backup power?

That depends on your situation. Think router, switch, NAS, till and whatever you do not want to lose in an outage.

Does the coffee machine work too?

No. We do not cover that.
