For many organisations, internet connectivity is now business critical.
A broadband outage can affect:
Even a short outage can result in lost productivity, missed opportunities and operational disruption.
A failover solution provides an automatic backup internet connection.
When the primary broadband service fails, traffic is automatically redirected through a secondary mobile connection.
When broadband service is restored, traffic automatically switches back.
The process is designed to minimise disruption and maintain connectivity for critical business services.
The Lister Backup Connectivity Solution uses a pre-configured 4G or 5G router connected to your existing network.
The solution continuously monitors your primary internet connection.
If a fault is detected:
No manual intervention is normally required.
Not all mobile networks perform equally in every location.
The Lister solution can utilise multi-network connectivity, providing access to:
The SIM can automatically switch between networks.
This helps maximise coverage and resilience by reducing reliance on a single network provider.
Key Benefits:
✓ Improved coverage
✓ Increased resilience
✓ Reduced single-network dependency
✓ Better support for rural and remote locations
✓ Enhanced business continuity
Backup connectivity is commonly used by:
A backup internet connection is only valuable if it is ready to perform when you need it. Remote monitoring provides visibility into the health and status of your failover solution, helping organisations ensure their backup connectivity remains available and operational.
Using remote management tools, administrators can view device status, monitor connectivity, receive alerts when failover occurs and access performance information without needing to visit the site. This can help identify potential issues early, reduce troubleshooting time and provide confidence that the solution is ready to respond should the primary broadband connection fail.
For organisations managing multiple locations, remote monitoring also provides a central view of deployed devices, making it easier to track connectivity, manage configurations and maintain consistent standards across the estate. Combined with optional managed services from Lister, this can help reduce the burden on internal IT teams whilst improving overall business resilience.
Every organisation relies on connectivity differently, but the impact of an internet outage is often the same: disruption to operations, reduced productivity and potential loss of revenue.
Backup connectivity solutions help organisations maintain access to critical systems when their primary broadband service becomes unavailable.
A backup connectivity solution is only as effective as the expertise behind it. Successful deployments require more than simply supplying a router and SIM card. They need an understanding of connectivity, networking, business continuity and ongoing support.
Lister combines extensive experience across telecommunications, IoT connectivity and IT services, allowing us to design solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing business environments.
Our team works with organisations across a wide range of connectivity projects, from mobile and fixed-line communications through to IoT deployments, secure networking and business continuity solutions.
This broad experience helps us understand how backup connectivity fits into the wider technology landscape and ensures solutions are designed with both operational and technical requirements in mind.
Unlike suppliers that focus solely on hardware or connectivity, we can bring together the different components required for a successful deployment, including:
• Connectivity and mobile networks
• Multi-network SIM solutions
• Network and router configuration
• Remote monitoring and management
• IT integration and support
• Ongoing technical assistance
This enables organisations to work with a single provider rather than coordinating multiple suppliers.
Solutions can be supplied pre-configured and ready for installation, helping reduce deployment time and complexity. Whether supporting a single office or multiple sites, our aim is to make backup connectivity as simple and effective as possible.
Our engineering and support teams remain available after deployment to assist with configuration changes, troubleshooting, monitoring and ongoing management. This helps ensure the solution continues to provide the resilience and reliability it was designed to deliver.
✓ Extensive telecommunications expertise
✓ Strong IoT and connectivity experience
✓ IT integration and support capabilities
✓ Multi-Network connectivity options
✓ Pre-Configured, ready-to-deploy solutions
✓ Optional monitoring and managed services
✓ Engineering and technical support teams
✓ Single supplier for connectivity, hardware and support
Internet connectivity is now a critical part of day-to-day business operations. From cloud applications and VoIP phone systems to card payment terminals and remote working, even a short outage can have a significant impact on productivity and customer service.
A backup connectivity solution can help reduce the risk of disruption by providing an alternative internet connection when your primary broadband service becomes unavailable.
Whether you're protecting a single office, a retail location, a healthcare facility or a multi-site estate, Lister can help design a solution that aligns with your operational requirements, resilience objectives and budget.
From automatic failover and multi-network connectivity through to remote monitoring and managed services, we can help you build a backup connectivity strategy that keeps your business connected when it matters most.
If you're reviewing your business continuity plans, experiencing broadband reliability issues or simply want to improve resilience, we'd be happy to discuss your requirements.
