# Why a tertiary building needs a satellite backup

A modern office building does not last long through a network outage. Satellite connectivity changes the equation by providing a path independent of fibre.

A modern office building runs dozens of services that depend on the network: access control, connected lifts, IP telephony, building management systems, and every tenant's operations on top of that. When the fibre link goes down, it is not an inconvenience, it is a full stop.

## The single point of failure

Most commercial assets rely on a single fibre connection. That works fine day to day, but it creates a single point of failure. An operator outage, roadworks cutting a cable, or an incident in the technical room: the scenario repeats more often than people expect.

## What satellite adds

Satellite connectivity provides a fallback path that does not depend on any local terrestrial infrastructure. It can take over automatically, supplement fibre in a hybrid setup, or serve as an interim solution on a new site before the permanent connection is ready.

- Automatic failover when the primary link drops
- Load sharing to improve overall service reliability
- Immediate connectivity for new or peripheral sites
- Low-profile installation on flat rooftops

## Hardware, separate from the service

TerraLink Group supplies and integrates the hardware. Subscriptions and managed connectivity remain the responsibility of the operator or the service provider. That separation is intentional: it makes us complementary to existing players rather than competitive.

**Does satellite replace fibre?** No, it complements it. Fibre stays the primary link; satellite ensures continuity and coverage extension.
**Is the installation visible?** Hardware is installed on flat rooftops as discreetly as possible, in line with building management requirements.
