4G/5G Backup cellular resilience when the line drops.
4G/5G Backup is automatic backup connectivity that keeps you online if your primary circuit fails, reducing downtime and disruption to cloud-based work. It uses the mobile network as a second path, so the moment your fixed line goes down the connection switches to 4G or 5G on its own, with no second fixed line to install.
- Uses the 4G/5G mobile network as an independent backup path
- Quick to add without installing a second fixed line
- Takes over automatically on the mobile network when your line drops
- Ideal where a diverse second fixed line is not available
- 4G/5G path
- Mobile network
- Automatic failover

The problem
When the fixed line is your only way online.
Most sites depend on a single fixed connection. If that line is cut, faulty or down at the exchange, everything stops, and a second fixed line is not always available, affordable or quick to install.
No diverse fixed line available
Many premises cannot get a second, physically separate fixed line, so a wired backup is simply not an option.
A second fixed line is slow to add
Ordering and installing another fixed circuit takes time, and it often shares the same infrastructure anyway.
Manual hotspots are unreliable
Tethering a phone or plugging in a dongle by hand is slow, partial and easy to forget when a line drops.
Cloud and voice stop with the line
Hosted phones, card payments and cloud apps all depend on the one connection and go down together.
Outages arrive without warning
Line faults and exchange issues happen with no notice, and a single path leaves the site exposed.
Nothing ready to move to mobile
Without a backup router in place, there is nothing set up to shift traffic onto 4G or 5G the moment the line fails.
Why 4G/5G Backup
Cellular backup that switches over on its own.
4G/5G Backup adds the mobile network as a ready, independent second path, so an outage on your fixed line does not take the site offline.
-
Backup over 4G and 5G
The backup path runs on the mobile network, independent of your fixed line and the infrastructure it depends on.
-
Automatic switchover
When the fixed line drops, traffic moves to the mobile network on its own, with no one plugging anything in. Switchover behaviour is confirmed at design stage for your site.
-
No second fixed line to install
Add resilience quickly where a diverse fixed circuit is unavailable, too slow or too costly to bring in.
-
Keeps critical systems up
Cloud apps, hosted voice and card payments can keep running on 4G/5G while the fixed line is down. Switchover behaviour is confirmed at design stage for your site.
-
Right-sized to the site
Match the cellular backup to what each location actually needs to keep working through an outage.
-

We monitor the connection and manage the failover so a dropped line is caught early. Monitoring scope and hours are agreed per service contract.

FAQs
4G/5G Backup: questions answered.
What is 4G/5G Backup?
It is a backup connection that runs on the 4G or 5G mobile network and takes over automatically if your primary fixed line fails, keeping your site online.
How is it different from a second fixed line?
The backup path uses the mobile network instead of another wired circuit, so you can add resilience without installing a diverse fixed line, which is not always available or quick to arrange.
How does the switchover work?
When your fixed line drops, traffic moves onto the mobile network automatically, then moves back when the line recovers. Switchover behaviour is confirmed at design stage for your site.
Will my phones and card payments keep working?
The aim is to keep business-critical systems like hosted voice and payments running on the mobile path while the fixed line is down. Switchover behaviour is confirmed at design stage for your site.
Does it depend on mobile coverage at my site?
Yes. The backup runs on the mobile network, so it depends on 4G/5G coverage at your location. Confirmed by site survey.
