I don't think they are interconnected in any way so I think if one goes down the other should still work.
Not too sure of their reliability either as I've heard stories of the service being intermittent even when standing right next to it (there are many of these small cells dotted around the outback now, places like WC, Maralinga, Marree, Innamincka). Great for cancelling SARTIME but can clearly create some heartache if not usable after landing.
