Business continuity
Don't let one connection run your whole business.
A redundant Internet connection belongs in every business's plan, and fixed wireless is the fastest, most practical way to get one. Florida Broadband adds a second, independent path alongside your AT&T or Comcast line, so your business stays online when your primary connection can't.
The question worth asking
If your Internet went down right now, what would happen to your business for the next four hours?
Lost sales. Missed calls. Stalled transactions. Idle staff. For a growing number of businesses, that answer is exactly why an Internet redundancy plan has moved from “nice to have” to standard operating practice.
Your Internet connection is infrastructure.
It's as essential as the power feeding the building. Point-of-sale systems, phones, payroll, cloud applications, even the front door lock may depend on it. Yet most businesses run that entire operation through a single connection, from a single provider, on a single physical path into the building.
That works fine right up until it doesn't. A cut cable, a storm, a construction crew or a problem on the carrier's own network can take a business fully offline, not for minutes but sometimes for hours or days.
How it works
Automatic failover. Nobody has to touch a thing.
A redundant connection is a second, independent path to the Internet that stands ready behind your primary one. When your main line drops, our failover router switches to the backup automatically, so your team may never even notice. No frantic calls to IT, no waiting on hold with a carrier, no lost afternoon.
And it isn't just a backup sitting idle. Both connections share the load during normal operation, so you gain extra bandwidth every day and full continuity the moment you need it.

Why it has to be a different path
A second line on the same path isn't redundancy.
Adding a second circuit from the same provider, through the same conduit, into the same point in the building doesn't buy much protection. Whatever takes down the first connection will likely take down the second. Consider what actually causes outages:
01
Cable cuts
An underground line cut by construction or clipped by a backhoe.
02
Storms & accidents
Storm damage, downed lines, or a vehicle striking a utility pole.
03
Provider outages
A local outage or technical failure at your single provider.
04
Shared infrastructure
Two “different” wired lines that still run through the same trench or wiring center.
True redundancy comes from diversity: a different provider, a different physical path, ideally a different technology altogether. A second connection that shares none of those failure points is what makes redundancy real.
The fastest, most practical second path
Why fixed wireless?
Fixed wireless delivers your connection point-to-point through the air, from tower-mounted equipment to your building. It doesn't share a trench, a conduit or a wiring center with your fiber or cable line. The two paths simply can't fail for the same reason.
Truly independent
No cables in the ground, so nothing that cuts your wired line can touch it.
Fast & affordable
No trenching, no permitting delays, no waiting months for a second wired build. Installed in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost.
Low latency
None of the added delay of a satellite link routed through space. Video calls and VoIP stay smooth on the backup.
Fully managed
We watch both connections, not just ours.
Florida Broadband installs and manages the failover router and monitors both your primary ISP and our link around the clock. If something goes down, we know about it, often before you do.
Keep your phones up too
Pair it with Florida Broadband VoIP.
Cable-company phone service only works on the cable company's network. When that network goes down, so do your phones. Florida Broadband VoIP keeps your calls up as long as either connection is up.
Think of it as insurance for your bandwidth
A modest, predictable cost against a much larger, unpredictable loss.
Compared with even a few hours of downtime (lost transactions, idle payroll, a damaged customer relationship), a second connection is inexpensive protection for something your business can't operate without.
The businesses that treat their Internet as critical infrastructure plan for it. The ones that don't find out how critical it was the day it goes down.
