LTE backup automatically switches your internet to cellular the moment your primary ISP fails — keeping point-of-sale terminals, security cameras, and alarms online without manual intervention. Fortified Technologies designs and installs managed networks for Alberta businesses, from single-site LTE failover to multi-location SD-WAN.

Managed Connectivity & LTE Failover
Watch how Fortified's connectivity solutions provide seamless internet redundancy and centralized network management for multi-site operations.
What Does Managed Connectivity Cost?
Managed connectivity pricing is typically structured around two components: the initial hardware/setup and a monthly management/data subscription.
Key Cost Drivers:
- Number of SitesScale of implementation
- Data RequirementsLTE usage for failover
- Hardware TierStandard vs. Enterprise
- Security FeaturesFirewall & VPN needs
Hardware and setup for connectivity solutions typically runs $1,725–$6,900 depending on hardware tier and site complexity. Ongoing carrier and management costs vary by provider and are quoted separately — use the Cost Estimator for a site-specific hardware and installation range.
How to Choose: LTE vs. Secondary ISP
Choosing the right redundancy strategy depends on your application's sensitivity to downtime.
Option A: LTE Failover
Best for immediate, automatic backup of critical data (POS, alarms). Lower cost, data-capped, ultra-reliable for emergency use.
Option B: Dedicated Fiber/Coax
Best for high-bandwidth needs (public Wi-Fi, constant video streaming). Higher monthly cost, unlimited data, requires physical cable entry.
