# When fibre fails, the building keeps running.

A fibre outage is not a minor incident in a commercial building: access control, lifts, telephony, and tenants all depend on the network. Satellite backup switches automatically and maintains service.

**Problem**: A single fibre link is a single point of failure for an entire commercial asset.
**Outcome**: A second, independent path ready to take over without manual intervention.

## Benefits
- Critical services remain available during an outage
- Automatic failover to the satellite link
- Protection against long-duration incidents
- Reliability for tenants and facility operators

## Deliverables
- Starlink hardware dedicated to backup
- Failover router and rack cabling
- Failover testing and acceptance
- Per-building documentation

## Use cases
- Multi-tenant office buildings
- Data rooms and technical spaces
- Sites sensitive to service interruption

## FAQ
**Is the failover automatic?** Yes. A router detects the loss of the primary link, activates the satellite path, and falls back to fibre once it is restored.
