The SwitchPoint System

You are not buying a router.
You are buying a managed continuity system.

The SwitchPoint System is everything between your business and downtime: enterprise grade hardware, cellular failover, monitoring, rules, and support , deployed and managed at your location.

SwitchPoint is not an ISP. We do not manufacture hardware. We deploy and manage the system that keeps you online.

Monitoring

Continuous connection monitoring with alerts when your primary link drops or recovers. We see it before you do.

Failover policy

Automatic traffic switching with configurable rules. The system decides what gets priority during an outage so costs stay predictable.

Cellular connectivity

Managed SIM with defined data caps. LTE activates only during outages and stops at your cap , no surprise bills.

Configuration & support

We configure everything for your network and provide ongoing support. No IT team required on your end.

How the system works

Four stages.
Fully automatic.

The SwitchPoint System runs continuously in the background. Here is what it does.

01

Detect

The SwitchPoint System monitors your primary connection continuously. The moment it detects a drop, the failover sequence begins automatically.

02

Failover

If the line drops, traffic automatically switches to cellular. Most environments fail over within 10–30 seconds. No human intervention required.

03

Control

Usage rules and priority settings keep costs predictable. The system knows what traffic matters and manages cellular data accordingly.

04

Monitor

We manage and monitor the system and alert you when something changes. Cloud monitoring runs continuously. You get notified , we handle the rest.

This is part of the SwitchPoint System.

This is not a piece of hardware you buy off a shelf and figure out on your own. This is not something your internet provider offers, and it is not something you will find bundled into an existing service plan. The SwitchPoint System is a purpose-built solution , designed, deployed, and managed for organizations that cannot afford to lose connectivity and refuse to leave it to chance.

The customer portal, the real-time device monitoring, the automated outage and restore notifications , all of it is built in-house and included with every deployment. No third-party dashboards. No generic alert tools. Every piece of the system was designed specifically for this problem.

SwitchPoint Backup is our own first customer. We run the same portal and the same alert system internally for lab testing, hardware validation, and live client support. We built it because nothing like it existed , and we use it every single day.

Who it's for

Any business where
downtime costs money

If your internet goes down and revenue, productivity, or customer trust takes a hit , the SwitchPoint System is built for you.

Medical & dental offices

Keep EHR systems, scheduling software, and payment processing online during ISP outages. No cancelled appointments, no idle staff, no lost revenue.

Retail & restaurants

POS terminals and card readers keep processing transactions when the primary internet line goes down. Never turn a customer away again.

Law & accounting firms

Stay connected to cloud documents, client email, and VoIP phones when the ISP fails. Every billable hour counts , don't lose them to an outage.

Logistics & field ops

Dispatch, scheduling, and field communication stay running no matter what the ISP does. Keep your crews coordinated and your routes moving.

Professional offices

Remote work tools, VoIP, cloud apps , all fully protected. Your team stays productive when the ISP fails without anyone needing to call IT.

Contractors & trades

HVAC, electrical, plumbing , keep dispatch and scheduling live during any outage. Your office stays connected while your crews are in the field.

Cost control

No surprise bills.
Ever.

The SwitchPoint System's backup connection is intentionally constrained. This is not a second full-time internet circuit , it's a managed failover line that operates within clear, defined limits.

Monthly data cap

Each plan includes a defined monthly data allowance for LTE failover , typically enough to keep a small team operational during a short ISP outage. You know exactly what you're getting.

Hard stop , no automatic overages

When the LTE data cap is reached, the backup connection stops. There are no automatic overages, no surprise line items, and no charges you didn't authorize.

Your explicit approval required

If an outage continues and you need additional LTE capacity, we add it on demand , after you approve it. We never add charges without your explicit authorization.

What stays online

Everything your
business depends on

When the SwitchPoint System activates, these services keep running without interruption.

VoIP phones
Credit card processing
VPN connections
Cloud apps
Email
Guest Wi-Fi (optional)
Remote access
When it matters

The outages you
can't predict

The SwitchPoint System activates automatically during any of these scenarios. No phone calls, no waiting on hold, no downtime.

Fiber cut

Construction or accidental damage severs the line serving your building.

Construction

Nearby building or road work takes out your ISP infrastructure unexpectedly.

ISP outage

Your provider has a regional or local outage. Could last minutes or hours.

Modem failure

Your ISP modem or ONT dies. Replacement could take days. You stay online now.

Storm

Severe weather knocks out wired infrastructure. Cellular stays up when cable and fiber go down.

Maintenance window

Your ISP schedules maintenance during business hours. The system keeps you running through it.

Enterprise grade

Built on enterprise grade networking hardware

The SwitchPoint System is built on commercial-class failover hardware designed for always-on environments. We select, configure, and manage the hardware , you get the reliability without the complexity.

Where we deploy

The system works
anywhere. So do we.

The SwitchPoint System is location-agnostic , it works wherever there is LTE coverage and a primary internet connection. What we've built around it is the managed layer: automated outage detection, response workflows, and a customer portal that makes it all visible. We've listed the states we actively serve, but if you're within driving distance and not on this list, reach out. The answer is probably yes.

FAQ

Questions we
hear most often

Anything not answered here , just send us a message. We respond fast.

Are you an ISP?
No. SwitchPoint is not an ISP, carrier, or utility. Your primary internet service stays with your existing provider. We deploy and manage the SwitchPoint System , an enterprise grade failover setup that activates automatically when your primary connection drops.
Will my speeds be the same on failover?
Cellular failover speeds depend on local LTE coverage and are typically slower than a wired connection. The SwitchPoint System is designed for business continuity , keeping critical operations like VoIP, payments, email, and cloud apps running , not as a full-speed replacement for your primary line.
Does this work with any firewall or router?
In most environments, yes. The SwitchPoint System is deployed between your modem and your existing network equipment. It works with standard business firewalls, routers, and managed switches. If your setup has specific requirements, we review compatibility before deployment.
How fast does failover happen?
Most environments fail over within 10 to 30 seconds of an outage being detected. We test failover during deployment so you see exactly how it behaves at your location before we leave.
Do you manage it?
Yes. The SwitchPoint System is fully managed. We handle deployment, configuration, monitoring, alerts, and ongoing support. You do not need an IT team or technical background. We monitor your system and alert you when something changes.
What about data usage and cost controls?
Each plan includes a defined monthly data allowance for cellular failover. When the cap is reached, the backup connection stops , no automatic overages. If an outage continues and you need additional capacity, you authorize it first. We never add charges without your explicit approval.
What exactly is the SwitchPoint System?
It is a managed internet failover solution. We deploy enterprise grade failover hardware at your location with cellular connectivity, monitoring, failover rules, and ongoing support. It is not a hotspot, not a second ISP, and not a VPN , it is a complete business continuity system that activates automatically when your primary connection drops.
