Keep Your Connection Alive When the Power Isn't ⚡

Between loadshedding, cable theft, and surprise blackouts, South African homes and offices can’t afford to leave essential gear unprotected. Smart UPS systems keep critical devices powered when the grid can't, giving you the uptime needed to finish tasks, stay online, or save your work. Whether you're gaming, remote working, or managing a small business, power protection is no longer optional—it's essential.

Why Smart UPS Systems Are Essential

Smart UPS units do more than just delay shutdown. They provide automated responses to power events, offer remote monitoring, and protect devices from power spikes. A well-specced model ensures your router, modem, ONT, and even a PC can ride through short outages without a hitch.

For a simple setup, explore affordable UPS options under R899—perfect for powering a Wi-Fi router or small NAS during brief interruptions.

Use Cases Beyond the Obvious 🔌

You might already have surge protectors, but they can’t stop a sudden shutdown. Smart UPS systems step in with:

  • Continuous power to networking equipment (Wi-Fi, Fibre ONT)
  • Buffer time to shut down PCs or NAS drives safely
  • Voltage regulation to handle brownouts

If your setup includes multiple devices or a higher load (e.g. dual monitors, external storage), consider advanced UPS units over R900 for higher wattage and runtime.

TIP FOR YOU

Smart UPS Monitoring Tip

Install companion software (like PowerChute or ViewPower) to monitor battery health, automate safe shutdowns, and tweak settings in real-time.

The Silent Hero in Your Setup 🛡️

The best tech stays unnoticed… until you need it. Smart UPS systems work in the background, keeping your fibre line active and your work protected. For streamers or remote workers, staying connected during short power dips is often the difference between a productive day and a frustrating one.

Need flexibility? Many UPS units at Evetech now feature LCD displays, replaceable batteries, and AVR—perfect for long-term value.

Key Considerations Before You Buy

  • Load calculation: Add the wattage of your router, ONT, monitor, and PC (if applicable).
  • Runtime: Choose a UPS that gives 10–20 minutes of backup at that load.
  • Socket count: Match the UPS to the number of devices needing protection.

For fibre setups, the most reliable combos include a UPS powering both the router and the fibre ONT—ensuring full internet continuity.
