Overview

In today’s hyper-connected world, businesses rely on uninterrupted internet access for mission-critical operations. Traditional connectivity solutions tied to a single carrier often fail, causing costly downtime. Big Network, in partnership with Infinite Wireless, has developed an innovative, multi-path connectivity solution that eliminates these failures by dynamically switching between mobile carriers while ensuring a reliable static IP (never possible with multi-carrier systems). This partnership delivers unparalleled business continuity for organizations struggling with unreliable internet.

The Challenge

Unreliable Connectivity Creates Business Vulnerabilities

‍Businesses across industries face significant challenges due to internet disruptions:

• Revenue Loss: Downtime leads to failed transactions, missed opportunities, and customer dissatisfaction.
• Operational Inefficiencies: Technicians, field workers, and mobile teams depend on continuous connectivity to perform their jobs effectively.
• Data Security Risks: Many businesses rely on static IPs for secure VPNs, cloud applications, and payment processing. A lack of static IP continuity disrupts these functions.
• Limited Coverage: Remote locations and areas with high network congestion, such as retail stores and mobile service units, experience frequent connectivity issues.

Outdated Static IP and Failover Solutions

Businesses that rely on legacy systems for static IP and failover solutions experience unreliable and outdated service. These systems require Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing, expensive IPv4 address blocks, and dedicated internet access (DIA) connections. Such solutions demand significant infrastructure investment and skilled network engineers to maintain them. Even modern failover systems introduce problems: while they provide a backup connection, they change the IP address during failover, disrupting active sessions, dropping VPN connections, and forcing businesses to manually restore functionality.

Legacy failover solutions typically:

• Require costly BGP routing and static IP blocks, increasing operational expenses.
• Cause session disruptions during failover, impacting critical applications like VPNs, VoIP calls, and payment processing.
• Rely on expensive, dedicated internet access instead of leveraging flexible, carrier-agnostic networks.

Big Network and Infinite Wireless eliminate these challenges by creating a seamless, software-driven failover solution that maintains a persistent IP, regardless of the underlying carrier or network disruptions.

The Solution:
Big Network and Infinite Wireless offer a seamless, carrier-agnostic connectivity solution designed to keep businesses online, no matter the conditions.

Mobile Internet Access with Automatic Carrier Switching

• Infinite Wireless provides LTE connectivity solutions that dynamically switch between multiple network carriers, ensuring businesses always remain connected to the strongest available network.

Static IP Anywhere: Bridging Carrier Switching with Consistent Network Access

• Big Network’s Multi-Path Technology ensures continuous, uninterrupted access regardless of network changes.
• Big Network’s Static IP Anywhere Solution allows for the delivery of static IP addresses “over the top” of the underlying carriers, decoupling critical IP addresses from their underlying carriers.
• This “teleporting” of static IPs creates a private encrypted IP network across all internet paths.
• The solution can be delivered as an extension of a client’s existing network (self-managed) or as a fully managed service by way of partnership with Core Transit.

The Evolution of Static IP & Failover Solutions

Traditional static IP solutions, such as BGP routing and NAT-based failover, have long been used to maintain connectivity, but they come with significant drawbacks. BGP routing requires expensive IPv4 address blocks, complex configurations, and skilled engineers to manage it properly. While NAT-based failover and mobile internet backups offer an alternative, they create new problems: failover events often cause IP address changes, breaking ongoing sessions, disconnecting VPNs, and disrupting cloud applications.

By contrast, Big Network and Infinite Wireless eliminate these issues entirely by providing a cloud-based static IP that persists across failover events. With automatic carrier switching and a persistent network presence, businesses no longer experience dropped connections, session resets, or the need for manual network reconfiguration. This software-defined networking approach ensures that failover happens in real-time, invisibly to end-users, making it the most resilient and cost-effective option available.
