How does an internet outage effect your business?

  • Retail unable to process credit cards
  • Employees not able to access email or shared files
  • Unable to connect to vendor sites
  • Can’t connect to cloud QuickBooks
  • UCaaS phones stop working
  • IP Security cameras no longer broadcasting
  • Business STOPS
  • Money being lost

Simple way to fix this – Having more than one Internet connection

After choosing the proper type of internet connectivity for your business, choose a viable back up internet connection. Then a device that allows the connections to be set up as failover for each other. Perhaps load balancing the two connections or selecting certain applications for each. Some devices allow up to 3 connections , so maybe a fiber connection, a cable connection , and a wireless cellular connection.

Here is a device many of our customers have used to have Dual Wan Support.
