How Does Broadband Backup Work?

Each business location must be in the contiguous U.S. and have a clear view of the southern sky. A HughesNet certified installer will connect the satellite modem to your LAN to insure you have broadband connectivity. The satellite modem will link to a satellite dish (antenna) that’s typically mounted on the roof of your commercial building.

Once the installer has verified the broadband connection, a 2-port (dual port) WAN router (customer supplied) will be required to facilitate the fail-over/backup to satellite when the landline connection fails. The router will also automatically return to your primary landline connection once it is restored. Your business is now protected, and you no longer have to rely only on your landline provider to keep your business online.
