Business internet failover
Do I need AlwaysOn?
For most businesses, if the internet stops, the workday stops with it.
Automatic failover through AlwaysOn is the ideal solutions when you simply can't afford a minute of downtime.
What is business internet failover?
An internet failover service keeps your business online, even if the primary connection drops. It works by automatically switching to a preconfigured backup connection. Backups can be delivered in several ways. What matters most is that they’re completely separate from your main connection, so one outage doesn’t take everything offline.
Our automatic failover uses a wireless connection as the secondary option, allowing traffic to reroute instantly if the fibre fails.
How AlwaysOn works…
AlwaysOn combines a dedicated fibre leased line as the primary connection with a rooftop wireless failover connection; keeping you online, 100% of the time. Automatic failover switches traffic instantly, while 24/7 monitoring provides proactive alerts and support.
High speed, low latency performance. Ideal for mission-critical processes, cloud based operations and continuous productivity.

We've got answers…
What is business internet failover?
Business internet failover is a resilient connectivity setup that keeps your internet running without interruption. It works by automatically switching to a secondary or backup connection - such as radio wireless failover, 4G/5G or an additional broadband line - if the primary internet service goes down.
How quickly does AlwaysOn automatically switch to the backup connection?
Within seconds. Your users are unlikely to even notice an interruption.
How does wireless failover differ from 4G/5G failover?
We use our own point-to-point wireless radio network as the failover connection.
Wireless failover and 4G/5G failover both provide backup internet connectivity, but they differ in delivery and performance.
Rooftop point-to-point wireless uses a dedicated line of sight between two fixed locations; your office and one of our base stations. This creates a stable, high-speed, low-latency connection that is independent of the public mobile network, making it highly reliable for businesses with high-performance needs.
In contrast, 4G/5G failover relies on the public mobile network and a router. While it’s flexible and can be deployed almost anywhere, speeds and latency can fluctuate depending on network congestion and signal strength.
Overall, rooftop wireless failover offers more consistent, enterprise-grade performance and stability.
What uptime can I expect?
We offer a 100% uptime SLA, guaranteed with our AlwaysOn solution.
Is AlwaysOn suitable for small businesses?
AlwaysOn is suitable for any business that needs the utmost reliability and stability in their internet connection.
What’s the difference between AlwaysOn and a 5G router backup?
Rooftop point-to-point wireless uses a dedicated line-of-sight connection between two fixed locations. This provides a high-speed, low-latency link that’s completely independent of public networks.
A 5G router backup, on the other hand, connects to the mobile 5G network to provide a secondary connection. Its speeds and latency depend on signal strength, network congestion and coverage in your area.
In short, rooftop wireless offers more predictable, enterprise-grade reliability. While a 5G router backup is easier to deploy, it’s less reliable under heavy load or poor signal conditions.
How quickly can AlwaysOn be installed?
We can get both connections up and running in as little as 20 days.
