Backup Internet

# 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.

Check Availability

### 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

01 

#### Downtime is expensive

Even a few hours of internet downtime can cost thousands in lost productivity, missed sales, and damaged customer relationships.

02 

#### 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.

03 

#### Business continuity requirements

Many industries require documented business continuity plans that include redundant connectivity as a baseline requirement.

04 

#### Remote work dependence

With teams relying on cloud tools and video conferencing, internet reliability directly impacts your ability to operate.
