What matters for backup internet

  • Ready when the line fails

    A backup SIM sits idle most of the time, then needs to carry real traffic at once.

  • Room for real traffic

    During an outage the router carries the whole site, so allow enough monthly data.

  • Know it works

    Check in Control Centre that each backup SIM is online and ready, before the line goes down.
