Lithuania’s storm exposed a weak link: how resilient is the mobile network?

A severe storm hit Lithuania, causing widespread disruptions to mobile communications for tens of thousands of residents. While the storm damaged infrastructure and blocked roads, experts argue that the primary issue was not the mobile network itself but its reliance on the electricity grid. Around 66,000 customers experienced service interruptions, with approximately 800 mobile base stations temporarily offline. However, specialists note that most affected stations were in remote areas, and the core infrastructure of the mobile network remained functional. The outage highlights the vulnerability of communication systems to power failures, raising concerns about resilience in the face of extreme weather and potential security threats.
