The Diya application will feature a map of xPON providers that provide stable Internet during power outages. This way Ukrainians will be able to check whether their home is connected to a non-volatile network.

Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov announced this on December 10. He noted: this will help assess the stability of the Internet so that people can plan to work or study during a power outage..

On the map you will be able to see: – providers that serve a specific home and provide Internet access using xPON technology;

– how many hours will the Internet work in case of a power outage?.

Ukrainians will also be able to leave suggestions and reviews about the quality of the provider’s work. This will create healthy competition between providers and increase the stability of telecom infrastructure throughout Ukraine, the minister writes..

" This will also make it possible to identify “blind spots” and direct resources to where communications are needed most – especially in front-line communities,” Fedorov added..

xPON (Passive Optical Network) is a modern technology for connecting the Internet via fiber optic directly to an apartment or house. It makes it possible to work without light for up to 72 hours if you power the router and user terminal (ONU) from a power bank, since there is no equipment requiring power in the signal path.
