In the digital age, the Internet is an essential part of any business, and being without it is not an option. The slightest disruption to your Internet connection sends you scrambling to find a workaround. It’s important to know that not all outages are created equal, and downtime can vary from a few minutes to several days. Network outages aren’t always a result of a failure on your service provider’s end. A wayward squirrel can cause widespread outages by venturing into a power grid, costing your business thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
Widespread power outages come in many forms. Rolling blackouts from high electrical demand on overburdened power grids, natural disasters are notorious for lengthy power outages. Hurricane Maria caused the largest blackout in US history, taking almost 11 months for power to be restored to some areas. Whether you have employees working remotely or onsite, it is essential to keep them online and productive.
Fortunately, this can be resolved with an effortless backup Internet connection that kicks in when your primary connection goes down–ensuring no downtime or losses in productivity. A basic battery backup unit costs about $50 and can power a 4G LTE router for at least 8 hours. Think of it as a backup electric generator but for the Internet.
The Solution: Internet Backup Service
What is a 4G LTE router? Think of it as a regular WiFi router that you have in your home the only difference is it has a cellular radio built-in which allows you to access the Internet over a cellular connection.
How does it work? Once the device senses a disruption to your network, a cellular connection automatically takes over and will revert to the main source once it becomes available.
Is it complicated? The device setup is very simple, just plug it into one of the ports in your current router.
No broadband Internet connection? This very same device can provide Internet for use in a truck, RV, boat, store, or food truck, anywhere regular Internet is not available.
