Hybrid Connectivity

Hybrid Connectivity combines multiple internet access technologies — typically 4G/5G mobile data and satellite — to keep businesses connected when fixed-line services are limited, delayed, or unavailable. It’s also an effective way to add resilience to an existing broadband, full fibre or leased line connection.

By intelligently switching between available networks, hybrid connectivity helps maintain access to cloud applications, VoIP and unified communications, and other business-critical services, even during outages or localised network congestion.

Hybrid connectivity uses more than one connection path and automatically selects the best available route:

4G/5G mobile connectivity provides fast, widely available internet access

Satellite connectivity (Starlink) offers coverage where fixed-line or mobile coverage may be limited

Automatic failover helps maintain continuity if one connection drops, switching in seconds to keep services available

This approach reduces reliance on a single connection type and supports a more resilient connectivity strategy for connected businesses.

Hybrid mobile connectivity can be deployed as:

Primary Connectivity
Ideal for businesses that need reliable internet without dependence on fixed broadband, such as rural locations or sites where fibre isn’t available yet.

Interim Connectivity
Perfect for temporary sites or while awaiting fixed-line installation — providing connectivity quickly with professional setup and optimisation.

Backup Connectivity
A resilient failover option to keep operations running during outages or emergencies, supporting continuity for cloud systems and communications.

Starlink uses low-earth-orbit satellite technology to deliver high-speed connectivity with broad geographic coverage. It’s particularly useful for:

Remote or hard-to-reach locations

Temporary sites and rapid deployment

Backup connectivity for critical sites

Locations where fixed-line installation lead times are impractical

As part of a hybrid setup, satellite can also provide an additional layer of resilience alongside 4G/5G mobile connectivity. Get in touch to discuss how Starlink can provide your business with extra connectivity and  resilience.

We design and deliver hybrid connectivity solutions that are built around your site, your applications and your risk level. Our team will assess coverage options, install and configure the solution professionally, test performance, and provide ongoing support to keep your connectivity stable and resilient.

Whether you need a primary service for a remote location, an interim connection for a new site, or a robust backup for business continuity, we’ll recommend the right approach and keep it simple.
