If you don’t read anything else in this article, read this: if your business internet goes down, you’re out of business. You knew that, but it’s worth mentioning. Your internet connection runs your phones, your point of sale terminals, credit card processing, email, and so much more. If that one bit of fiber to your business breaks, that’s it. Game over.
Now, imagine the dozens of different ways that could happen. The cable company’s supplied router or terminal could break. Someone could break a fiber line when digging a hole. There could be water or ice damage. If your lines are above ground, a tree could fall and snap a fiber strand. It’s enough to keep you up at night if you’re a business owner.
Sleep soundly if you have Cradlepoint
Cradlepoint makes solutions that solve problems like that. They’re high-quality industrial routers that give you what’s called “failover” protection. You connect a second internet line to a Cradlepoint device. If the primary line goes down, the second line goes into action immediately. Yes, your internet slows down a bit but you’re not out of business.
That second line can come from wherever it needs to. Maybe you have satellite internet from Viasys. Maybe you have a second contract with a second internet service provider. Perhaps your primary provider gives you two completely different circuits.
What’s most interesting to many businesses is the idea of a cellular failover connection. You can connect up a Cradlepoint cellular router and use a low-cost data plan. This isn’t always the fastest connection but it’s a great way to manage costs. It’s also a great way to leverage that business-grade cell booster system that you want to put in.
With a failover solution from Cradlepoint, life goes on when your main internet line goes down. You can rest easy knowing that you’re not depending on the cable company to move quickly. That’s why large and small businesses alike rely on Cradlepoint products. These aren’t department-store-quality routers. These are routers that as serious about your business as you are. And let’s face it, that’s what you need when you’re trying to succeed in bus
