A 4G / 5G failover router is a device that provides backup internet connectivity in case your primary internet connection fails. It uses a cellular data network as the secondary means of connectivity.
Typically it provides reassurance for businesses or anyone relying on mission critical internet connectivity. The benefits include:
Automatic failover – the router will automatically switch over to your 4G/5G backup connection, keeping your business connected and running.
No disruption for your business operations – a huge advantage for businesses that cannot afford to have any damaging downtime. A failover router will ensure your online services, such as VoIP phones, electronic payment machines, security cameras, or cloud applications, will continue to function without interruption.
Easy to set up and use – failover routers are relatively simple to install and configure, and do not require any special wiring or equipment. You just need a SIM card and a power source, and you are ready to go.
Flexible and portable – a 4G failover router can be used in any location where there is a 4G signal, which covers most of the UK. You can also move your router to different sites as needed, such as temporary locations, exhibitions, or remote offices.
Failover routers supplied though IDNet Mobile Broadband run over the H3G (Three) mobile Network. You can easily check the local cellular coverage in your postcode area by entering your postcode here.
