Hotspot vs. Failover

A hotspot is for a laptop. This is for a business.

Four reasons a phone or carrier hotspot lets you down at the register.

It slows down when you're busiest.

Most hotspot plans cut your speed after a data limit. You hit that limit on your busiest days, because that's when you've used the most.

It's one carrier.

A hotspot is locked to one network. If that tower is weak or crowded at your address, there's nothing to switch to.

It handles a handful of devices.

A business runs a register, card readers, a receipt printer, cameras, tablets, and staff phones, all at once.

It only works after you notice.

A hotspot is something you dig out and turn on once things have already stopped. Failover switches before anyone notices.

Considering Failover?

Look at Business Internet, Failover Built In.

Failover protects the internet you already have. Business Internet replaces it, with the backup already inside. Several networks on one plan, and if the one you're on has a bad day you switch to another from the portal in a few clicks. One router instead of two. One bill instead of two.
