I have always liked the idea of wimax from the very begining as it is wireless and a local powercut wont make any difference if youv got power backup for your pc or laptop which would run for a couple of hours on batteries anyway.. you will not get any disconnections.
Oh no, this is the downside of WiMax, you have to provide continuous power to the PoE adapter in order to browse internet continuously. PoE adapter is the one which in turn provides power to the subscriber station(antenna) to function and send/receive signals.

So during power cut apart from providing backup power supply to your system, you have to provide continuous power supply to the PoE adapter.
