Your primary internet connection is often a single terrestrial link. It works—until it doesn’t. Galaxy Broadband designs robust wireless internet backup and failover solutions to keep critical operations online with next to zero downtime, from remote Canada to the heart of its cities.
The digital economy runs on physical cables, but that infrastructure is fragile. While we speak of the “cloud,” business continuity relies on wires buried underground.
Canada’s vast geography makes redundancy harder and outages longer. The “last mile” is often the most vulnerable link in the chain.
Terrestrial fibre and copper are susceptible to “backhoe fade” and environmental events like ice storms or wildfires. In remote regions, a single cut can last days, not hours.
Relying solely on a terrestrial link creates a dangerous dependency on long repair timelines. A backup path isn’t optional, it’s operational risk management.
To understand the value of a backup system, you must first quantify the cost of its absence. The financial impact of network failure is immediate and non-linear.
We don’t believe in single-thread connectivity. We build a unified portfolio of Fibre, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite, and terrestrial wireless (LTE/5G) to reduce outage probability and keep critical traffic moving.
Redundancy only works if the backup path is physically distinct. If both links share the same conduit, one event can stop both.
We optimize traffic using the strengths of each link—so you’re not just “failing over,” you’re operating intelligently across the portfolio.
Galaxy Broadband offers a new way to connect Canadian enterprises through our partnership with Eutelsat OneWeb. Historically, satellite internet was viewed as a “last resort” backup due to high latency. That era is over.
Traditional Geostationary (GEO) satellites orbit at 36,000 km resulting in high latency. OneWeb’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation orbits at approximately 1,200 km. This proximity reduces latency to less than 70 milliseconds which is comparable to terrestrial fibre optics.
Because of this low latency, LEO satellites support real-time applications that older satellites could not. You can run cloud ERPs, video conferencing, and remote desktop sessions without lag. This allows satellite internet backup to perform like a primary link.
This technology allows us to provide a backup network for remote sites anywhere in Canada. Whether you are in a fly-in lodge or a northern research station, LEO satellite provides a robust connection. It ensures your satellite internet backup is completely immune to local terrestrial disasters.
For businesses in urban or industrial zones, cellular networks provide an excellent layer of diversity. While satellite covers the remote gaps, cellular offers high-speed redundancy for populated areas.
We utilize carrier-agnostic bonding technology rather than relying on a single provider. Our devices can hold SIM cards from multiple carriers like Bell, Telus, and Rogers. If one carrier experiences tower issues, the system automatically switches to the next available signal.
By connecting to wireless towers, we completely bypass the physical trenches used by wired providers. This removes the risk of accidental line cuts affecting your backup link. It creates a truly diverse internet failover solution for urban offices, using LTE / 5G backup internet as a separate path.
SD-WAN continuously monitors link health (latency, jitter, packet loss) and selects the best path for the traffic.
If the primary link degrades or fails, traffic reroutes automatically to the wireless backup link, instantly.h
Voice, ERP, remote access, and control systems can be prioritized so operations keep moving even on a metered backup link.
Communication is often the first casualty of an outage. Galaxy VoIP services prioritize voice traffic so calls don’t drop during failover events, critical for customer contact and emergency coordination.
Internet access is a business requirement, so it must be managed as one. SmartSite Managed Network Services provides visibility, control, and proactive support across your connectivity portfolio.

Galaxy Broadband is a Crown Capital Partners Inc. company, bringing long-term stability and the resources to support your connectivity program.
We’re not tied to one carrier or technology. We design the best backup and failover mix for each site, using the right combination of LEO satellite, LTE/5G, and SD-WAN.
Our team designs, deploys, and supports enterprise networks every day, with 24/7 monitoring and support to keep your failover environment optimized and secure.
A single internet connection is an unacceptable operational risk. From OneWeb LEO satellite backup to carrier-agnostic LTE/5G bonding, plus SmartSite monitoring and optimization, Galaxy helps protect revenue, safety, and reputation.
Redundancy refers to the existence of a secondary connection, while failover is the automated action of switching to it. Galaxy Broadband provides both the redundant wireless internet backup connections and the intelligent software to execute the failover instantly.
OneWeb LEO satellites orbit at 1,200 km compared to 36,000 km for traditional GEO satellites. This drastically reduces latency to under 70ms. This makes satellite internet backup viable for latency-sensitive applications like VoIP and video calls.
Yes. Through our SMARTSite service, we provide detailed monthly reports. You will see exact metrics on usage, capacity, and type of traffic, giving you full transparency into how your backup internet for business is functioning.
Absolutely. We treat your backup link with the same security rigour as a primary connection. Our solutions include segregated networks and reporting on surveillance activity, penetration attempts, and malware attacks to ensure your failover communication solution remains secure.
Yes. Our solutions prioritize voice traffic to ensure your phone lines stay active. Whether using LTE / 5G backup internet or LEO satellite, we support VoIP/PBX services with crystal clear audio even when the primary fibre is down.
Galaxy Broadband offers flexible plans designed for business continuity. Our internet failover solution includes traffic shaping technology that prioritizes business-critical applications. This ensures your data allowance is spent on keeping your business running rather than on non-essential web browsing.
No. Galaxy Broadband offers a fully managed service called SMARTSite. We handle the installation, configuration, security patching, and 24/7 monitoring of the equipment. We act as your outsourced network operations team so you do not have to.
Yes. While satellite internet backup is essential for remote locations, our LTE / 5G backup internet solutions are perfect for urban and suburban businesses. Construction cuts and infrastructure failures happen in cities just as often as they do in rural areas.
Our SD-WAN solutions are designed to detect and react to outages in milliseconds. In many cases, the switch to the wireless internet backup link happens so quickly that ongoing sessions do not drop and users do not notice the transition.
We’ll design a solution that fits your site, industry, and bandwidth needs.
