A massive nationwide blackout in February 2025 left nearly three-quarters of Chile’s population without internet access, with power restoration taking hours in many areas. Beyond major outages, residential suburbs, rural areas, and northern mining regions are plagued by frequent short-term power cuts, voltage surges, and grid instability.
When a power outage occurs, the Optical Network Unit (ONU)—or fiber modem—shuts down immediately, cutting off the user’s internet connection. This triggers a flood of complaints to ISPs, lowers customer satisfaction, and incurs high costs due to reputational damage. Furthermore, sudden voltage fluctuations can damage the ONU’s delicate internal circuitry, driving up long-term expenses for equipment replacement and on-site maintenance.
These market challenges have made dedicated mini backup power supplies an essential accessory for Chilean ISPs, and the WGP 1202G mini UPS has quickly gained popularity among local service providers and end-users. Most Chilean ISPs specifically require a backup runtime of approximately four hours to cover typical power restoration cycles; the 1202G series, available in two capacity versions, perfectly meets this local requirement.
The WGP 1202G features a 12V/2A output and an included DC cable, making it compatible with small devices such as 12V Wi-Fi routers, security cameras, CPEs, and ONTs.
The WGP 1202G-6000mAh provides up to four hours of stable, continuous power to a single 12V ONU during an outage, effectively meeting the most common backup power needs of Chilean households. For users in remote areas facing prolonged power restoration delays, the 1202G-7800mAh model can power a single 12V device for 5 hours and 24 minutes—a figure confirmed by test feedback from Nicolas, a customer in Chile.
It’s a best DC UPS for modems, Wi-Fi routers, and IP security cameras, the 1202G DC UPS features seamless power switching during mains outages, preventing ONT reboots and fiber connection interruptions.
Its compact, plug-and-play design eliminates the need for professional wiring, making it ideal for ISPs to bundle, upsell, or pre-install alongside new fiber service plans. For Chilean ISPs, deploying the WGP 1202G mini UPS offers more than just a value-added service; it reduces technical support tickets, boosts customer retention, protects investments in network hardware, and generates additional revenue streams.
Given the persistent grid instability across Chile, providing ONT battery backup is a simple yet cost-effective strategy to ensure stable, reliable internet service for all users.
