WiFi access in Power Outages

Posted on: June 3rd, 2025
In an effort support town member communications in times of power outages, Eli Zabielski has offered to share his Starlink access from his home at 481 Main Street (next to the Inn).  Starlink outages are rare, and Eli has his set up on a battery backup to help bridge power outages.  The battery backup should last between 6 and 24 hours.  
 
He has set up a guest network for anyone to use for urgent/emergency use during a power outage.  Residents should be able to make 911 calls if their carrier supports WiFi calling.

You may consider accessing and remembering the wifi network in advance so you do not need to find this email during a power outage.   Thank you, Eli for this generous offer.  Also, remember the school has a generator and a guest wifi network as well.
