Backup internet for business
Protect your business from downtime with a redundant internet connection. Automatic failover keeps you online when your primary circuit goes down.
Automatic failover
When your primary connection drops, traffic automatically routes to your backup circuit — often in seconds, with no manual intervention.
Carrier diversity
Use a different provider and technology for your backup to protect against single points of failure in the network.
Multiple technology options
Backup circuits can use fiber, cable, fixed wireless, or even 4G/5G cellular — depending on what's available at your location.
SD-WAN integration
Modern SD-WAN solutions can intelligently route traffic across multiple circuits, using both connections simultaneously for better performance.
Active-active or active-passive
Choose between using both circuits simultaneously (active-active) or keeping the backup dormant until needed (active-passive).
Minimize downtime cost
For businesses where every minute of downtime costs money, a backup circuit is often the most cost-effective insurance policy.
Why backup internet matters
Downtime is expensive
Even a few hours of internet downtime can cost thousands in lost productivity, missed sales, and damaged customer relationships.
Single points of failure
If you rely on one provider and one connection, you're exposed to outages from construction accidents, equipment failures, and provider issues.
Business continuity requirements
Many industries require documented business continuity plans that include redundant connectivity as a baseline requirement.
Remote work dependence
With teams relying on cloud tools and video conferencing, internet reliability directly impacts your ability to operate.
