5G Backup & 5G Broadband
Stay online when your main line fails, or get fast connectivity where fibre falls short, using business 5G.
Two ways businesses use 5G
5G backup (failover): a 5G connection sits alongside your main line and takes over automatically if it goes down, so your phones, card payments and cloud apps keep working. For many businesses, even an hour offline costs real money, and this removes that risk.
5G broadband (primary): where fibre is slow, unavailable, or you need connectivity quickly, business 5G can be a fast primary connection, and it can be up and running far sooner than a fixed line.
Good for
- Shops and sites where card payments must never stop
- Offices that depend on hosted phones and cloud apps
- New premises that need connectivity before fibre can be installed
- Temporary or pop-up sites and events
- Locations where fixed-line options are slow or poor
Frequently asked questions
Q: How does 5G backup switch over?
It is automatic. If your main connection drops, traffic moves to the 5G line and back again when the main line returns, usually without staff noticing.
Is 5G fast enough to run a business?
In areas with good 5G coverage, yes, both as backup and as a primary connection. We'll check coverage at your postcode before recommending it.
Can it protect card payments and phones specifically?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons businesses add it, so trading continues during an outage.
Can I combine 5G with a leased line or broadband?
Yes. 5G is often paired with a fixed line for resilience, and can be part of an SD-WAN setup across multiple sites.
