Ethernet Backup and Resilience

The broadband connection using cellular network technology can be offered as a business-grade solution with a Machine to Machine (M2M) mobile SIM. The SIMs work on the same technology (4G LTE). However, the transfer of data is more resilient and durable than a common SIM. This allows businesses to add static IP addresses and run the 4G technology in an internet line failure.

Cellular failover is network connectivity redundancy for your business – a life jacket of sorts that keeps your business afloat when your primary wired internet connection is lost. It works on the same technology (4G LTE) that your smartphone works on anytime you aren't on your home WiFi.

The right choice of 4G network is entirely dependant on the location of a business. A city-based office premise should have the choice of multiple strong networks; you can use a multi-network SIM to ensure that the strongest connection is established at the time. A rural-based office site can be checked using a network test device. This will highlight if you can use Vodafone, EE or O2 in the event of line failure.
