When the internet dies, your business should not
Your phones, payments, and apps all assume the internet is up. Voipcom backup internet adds automatic cellular failover that kicks in within seconds of an outage, so a cut fiber line becomes a footnote instead of a closed-for-business sign.
How it works
From first call to fully handled
No rip-and-replace projects. We meet your stack where it is.
Spec
We check cellular coverage at your address and size the failover for what must survive: phones first, payments next, then everything else.
Install
The failover appliance (the RabbitRun units we deploy) goes inline with your network, configured to switch automatically, no human in the loop.
Test monthly
Failover that is never tested is a hope. We verify it regularly and get alerted the moment it engages for real.
Why it matters
One ISP is a single point of failure for everything
Modern offices put everything on the wire: VoIP calls, card payments, EHRs, cloud files. When the only circuit fails, revenue stops, and outages always pick the worst day.
Failover appliances (like the RabbitRun units we deploy) watch your primary circuit and switch to LTE/5G automatically, prioritizing the traffic that keeps you in business: phones first, payments next. When the primary recovers, it switches back. Nobody has to touch anything.

What is internet failover, and how is it different from data backup?
Internet failover is the automatic switch from your primary circuit to a second connection the instant the first one drops, so your office stays online without anyone noticing. Voipcom delivers it as SD-WAN failover: an appliance continuously watches your fiber or cable line and, the moment it degrades or dies, routes traffic over a cellular LTE/5G link in seconds. SD-WAN is what makes that intelligent, steering each kind of traffic on its own rules so phones and card payments take priority over background downloads, then failing back to the primary on its own once the circuit recovers.
It’s worth being clear about the word backup, because two very different services share it. Backup internet keeps your connection alive during an outage; it does nothing for your files. Backup and disaster recovery, which Voipcom runs as a separate service, protects the data itself, with verified, restorable copies that survive ransomware, a dead server, or a flooded building. One keeps a Phoenix or Denver office working when the line goes down; the other gets it back when the data goes down. Most businesses we serve want both, run as one continuity plan.
Inside the service
When the circuit drops, you stay open
We watch your primary circuit around the clock and switch to LTE/5G the second it falters, prioritizing phones first and payments next. We see the failover before you do, chase your ISP, and verify it every month so an outage is a footnote, not a closed sign.

FAQ
Common questions
How fast does failover happen? +
Seconds, automatically. Active calls may blip; new calls and payments flow immediately on the cellular link, and failback to the primary is automatic too.
Is the backup fast enough to actually work on? +
It’s engineered for continuity, not movie streaming: QoS puts phones and payments first, so the business-critical traffic feels normal while bulk traffic waits.
Do we pay for cellular data we don’t use? +
No surprise data bills, the service is flat monthly, and the link is for outages and testing, not daily traffic.
Does this work at multiple locations? +
Yes, multi-site businesses standardize the same appliance and policy at every location, monitored centrally by us.
