These days, even relatively small businesses need fast, reliable internet connections to deliver services, communicate with customers, and coordinate with partners on the other side of the world. As dependable as your broadband service may be, downtime due to extreme weather or equipment failures is inevitable. A wireless failover system can provide the backup connectivity you need, helping you avoid lost revenue and productivity when disaster strikes.

What Is a Wireless Failover?

Wireless failover systems actively monitor your existing high-speed broadband connection for instability or sudden loss of connectivity. If the signal suddenly drops out, the failover switches over to a dedicated network with speeds equivalent to your normal service. When service is restored, your managed server will automatically revert to your primary connection and turn off the replacement service.

What Are the Benefits of Wireless Failovers?

Depending on your industry, even a few minutes of downtime can cost thousands of dollars in missed sales, lost customers, and interrupted productivity. Combined with fully managed internet services, a wireless failover mitigates these losses, and in many cases, your customers and employees may not even realize anything has gone wrong.

Many other backup internet systems depend on the same technology as the primary connection, leaving both circuits vulnerable to the same threats. If a physical cable is cut, for example, both your primary and backup connections will be lost. Wireless failovers rely on a completely separate technology than cable or DSL connections, offering a diversity that will keep you online—even in an emergency.
