The SwitchPoint
System for Virginia Beach

The problem

When your ISP goes down,
so does your business

Internet outages happen across Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads corridor. Coastal storms, flooding, and aging infrastructure make the region especially vulnerable. Most businesses just wait it out. The SwitchPoint System gives you another option.

Cox Communications Outages

Cox is the dominant provider in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads. Hurricanes, nor'easters, and coastal storms cause extended outages that businesses can't predict or control.

Verizon Fios Disruptions

Verizon Fios serves parts of the Virginia Beach metro and surrounding cities. Even fiber connections go down from storm damage, construction cuts, and equipment failures.

Spectrum & Regional Providers

Spectrum and smaller providers serve businesses across Hampton Roads. When coastal weather or infrastructure issues take them down, you're stuck waiting.

Why LTE failover

Two wired connections
isn't real redundancy

A lot of businesses think getting a second ISP solves the problem. It usually doesn't.

Not real redundancy

Two wired connections

Most wired ISPs in your area run through the same poles, trenches, and underground conduit.

  • A backhoe hits a line — both connections go down
  • A storm takes out a pole — both connections go down
  • A conduit floods — both connections go down
True failover

Wired + LTE cellular

LTE cellular runs on completely separate infrastructure — cell towers, not cables in the ground.

  • Backhoe cuts your line — LTE still works
  • Storm takes out a pole — LTE still works
  • ISP has a network-wide outage — LTE still works
The bottom line: If both your connections run through the same physical infrastructure, you don't have redundancy — you have two bills. The SwitchPoint System pairs your existing wired connection with LTE cellular, giving you failover across genuinely separate infrastructure.

FAQ

Common questions
answered

Are you an ISP?
No. SwitchPoint is not an ISP, carrier, or utility. You need an existing cable, fiber, or DSL connection. The SwitchPoint System deploys on top of it and activates when it goes down.
How does the SwitchPoint System work in Virginia Beach?
We deploy and manage the SwitchPoint System at your Virginia Beach business. It monitors your primary connection continuously. When your ISP goes down, it automatically switches to cellular within 10–30 seconds. When your ISP comes back, it switches back.
Does it work with my firewall or router?
In most environments, yes. The SwitchPoint System is deployed between your modem and your existing network equipment. It works with standard business firewalls, routers, and managed switches.
Will my speeds be the same on failover?
Cellular failover speeds depend on local LTE coverage and are typically slower than wired. The system is designed for business continuity — keeping critical operations running, not replacing your primary line.
Do you manage it?
Yes. The SwitchPoint System is fully managed. We handle deployment, configuration, monitoring, alerts, and ongoing support. No IT team required on your end.
What about data usage and cost controls?
Each plan includes a defined monthly data allowance. When the cap is reached, the backup stops — no automatic overages. Additional capacity requires your explicit approval first.
