Spain mandates 4-hour mobile network uptime during power outages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Spain is implementing new regulations that will require mobile network operators and infrastructure companies to maintain service for at least four hours during power outages. These rules, set to be approved by the end of 2026, aim to prevent widespread communication disruptions similar to past events affecting Spain, Portugal, and France. The requirements will apply to larger companies and will be phased in, with coverage targets for the population increasing over three years. Additionally, critical infrastructure control centers must remain operational for 24 hours, and emergency call centers need contingency plans. AI
