Customers typically use these solutions to ensure that business connectivity has redundancy protocols in place to ensure that things like point-of-sale (POS) systems, Voice over IP (VoIP) phone systems, inventory management or other types of mission-critical data stays online if primary service (wireline or wireless service from another provider) is interrupted. Currently, 99% of the U.S. population is covered by the underlying Verizon 4G LTE network (based on 9.15.2019 U.S. Census population data). To view our current coverage areas, click here.
The best backup option for your specific situation will vary. If you anticipate just needing a backup for a short time or to use with low-data-usage applications, such as POS, a plan that provides lower included data thresholds can be a solid solution. However, if your backup needs include many high-usage applications, we suggest that you choose a plan with more included data to avoid overage charges. Please contact your Verizon Business Account Manager to discuss which options would be best for your business.
Most industries can benefit from having a backup solution for their network. If revenue-generating activities such as POS or operational activities like ordering/shipping activities are critical to your business, then you could benefit from backup internet solutions. Contact your Verizon Business Account Manager to discuss your specific business needs.
