Reliable Internet Failover Solutions for Small Businesses & Organizations

A plain-language look at combining wired, satellite, and cellular connectivity for more resilient operations.

Internet downtime can interrupt customer service, access to cloud tools, and day-to-day communication. A multi-path failover approach is designed to give an organization another option when its primary connection is unavailable.

A multi-path connection design can use available wired, satellite, and cellular options to support continuity planning.

A multi-path approach

  • A primary cable or fiber connection for routine traffic
  • Satellite connectivity where it makes operational sense
  • 5G LTE cellular backup for another layer of resiliency

What the system is designed to do

  • Monitor the health of the primary connection
  • Route traffic to an available backup connection when needed
  • Return to the primary connection when service is restored

Planning considerations

  • The applications that need to remain available
  • The connectivity options available at the site
  • The router, modem, and monitoring equipment needed for the design
