Remote industrial sites — mines, quarries, camps, laydown yards — often run on a single fragile backhaul: a microwave link, a lone fiber, a legacy VSAT. When it fails, hundreds of workers lose connectivity and operations stop.
A real recovery
At one remote mine, a fire severed the microwave link that carried the whole operation. West Networks stood up bonded connectivity by aggregating multiple low-earth-orbit satellite dishes into a FusionHub with SpeedFusion, reaching roughly 1.3 Gbps for 250-plus workers. SpeedFusion Boost kept the slower dishes from dragging down the faster ones, so the bond delivered far more than the sum of nervous individual links.
Design for the day the primary dies
- Bond diverse media — satellite, cellular, and any wired link — so no single failure is fatal.
- Boost a high-latency link to get real throughput out of a lone satellite or 5G connection.
- Manage remotely with InControl 2, because rolling a truck to a remote site is measured in hours, not minutes.
The site that plans for its backhaul to fail is the site that never actually goes down.
If your disaster-recovery plan includes the word “failover,” you’re doing it wrong.
SpeedFusion internet bonding means increased performance, more uptime, and no failover — because the session was already riding every link.
Own your network. Peplink hardware is bought once and it lasts — it keeps bonding and routing with or without an active warranty or the cloud. No forced subscriptions, no required licenses.
