Satellite Can Save The Day
Flooding, fires, hurricanes and numerous other disasters can knock out your primary data line for hours or days. With Ground Control's FailSafe satellite solution, the equipment necessary for maintaining high-speed connectivity is installed on the facility roof. The instant your primary provider fails, the satellite connection will automatically feed your local network transparently without any human interaction. When the primary connection returns, the satellite connection turns off. FailSafe is a cost effective network insurance policy that will maintain uninterrupted connectivity as long as you have electricity. Below are some of the features of Ground Control's FailSafe solution.

Simple Integration - One Dish - One Local Area Network
Ground Control will work with your IT department to integrate a satellite system into your existing network structure. Many routers already have the ability to perform a "failover" to a secondary network connection, and if so, all that is required to purchase is the satellite system. Please speak with a Ground Control account executive to discuss the kind of network you wish to achieve.

Pay Only When You Use The Service
Besides a small annual maintenance fee, Ground Control will not charge for a satellite connection you may never use. The Failsafe plan will focus your costs on actual usage, which is the cost most relevant for a network backup solution. Cost of entry is relatively small, and in many cases, pays for itself the first time your terrestrial provider fails (calculating lost man hours, sales calls, or client interaction).

No Usage Limits
Another aspect to Failsafe service is that there is no "cap" or limit to the amount of data you may transfer (at your option). This feature is exceptionally helpful for when you can't predict how much you will need at any given time. The "No Cap" option is standard with all Failsafe accounts at Ground Control.

24-Hour Monitoring
The instant the satellite network goes offline (or back online), an email or SMS message can be generated and sent to any party to inform of the Network outage. Otherwise, with the transparent nature of the satellite network, you may never know your primary provider is down and needs to be contacted for repair.
