phys plant is good, nesscy but not sufficant for lifeline.
for lifeline - your only option is regulated wireline service
w/o any dependance on external power. regulated telco voice
service has a requirement for self-power - usually in the range of
12+hours. Not the 90min batteries in most cell towers.
ymmv of course and you get what you pay for.
