SD-WAN & Cellular Failover Deployment
Install and turn up SD-WAN edge appliances with LTE or 5G backup, then prove the failover actually carries production traffic.
Installing the backup path, then proving it works
Cellular failover is bought for the day the circuit dies and is almost never tested under load before that day. Plenty of sites discover during a real outage that the antenna sits in a metal closet, the data plan throttles after a few gigabytes, or the tunnel comes up but the application never follows.
We install the edge hardware, place antennas where signal is actually usable, register the appliance to your controller and then force a failover while somebody watches the applications that matter. A backup path nobody has tested is a line item, not a plan.
Deployment tasks
- Edge appliance mounting, power and LAN or WAN handoff
- SIM installation, carrier activation and APN configuration
- Antenna placement and cable routing based on measured signal
- Zero-touch registration and controller-pushed policy verification
Turn-up evidence
The point of the record is that somebody can trust the backup path a year from now.
From install to proven
The test at the end is the deliverable; everything before it is setup.
Survey
Measure signal at candidate antenna positions before drilling anything.
Install
Mount, power and cable the appliance and antenna to the survey result.
Register
Bring the appliance onto your controller and confirm policy landed.
Break it
Pull the primary circuit deliberately and watch the applications.
Sites that need this most
Cellular backup earns its cost where an outage stops revenue or safety-relevant work.
- Retail and restaurant sites where an outage stops payment
- Clinics and pharmacies dependent on hosted clinical systems
- Temporary, seasonal and construction-trailer locations
- Rural branches with a single carrier and no diverse path
