   Here, the phone systems in the elevator are usually running on   
   batteries, in case of power failure. It would be however be interesting   
   to know if:   
      
      - the VoIP routers also run on batteries   
      
      - if FTTS, the MicroCAN in the street either have batterie or are   
        tele-powered via old phone lines from a phone central   
        which has a generator or batteries   
      
   The devil is always in the details.
