Protect Your Revenue And Reputation From Internet Outages
When your primary internet fails, your business shouldn't have to stop. From missed sales to disrupted cloud services, the cost of downtime adds up every second you're offline. RocketFailover® eliminates this risk by providing an automated, resilient backup connection that keeps your mission-critical applications running. Don't let a provider outage dictate your productivity—stay online, stay protected, and keep your business moving forward with Akative.
How RocketFailover Works
Adaptive Integration
As a fully managed solution, we handle the technical heavy lifting before your equipment even ships. Our engineers preconfigure your RocketFailover solution to integrate seamlessly with your specific network stack—whether you utilize a single-WAN router or a dual-WAN firewall—ensuring a true plug-and-play deployment that requires no complex onsite overhauls.
Intelligent Monitoring
Visibility is the core of resilience. Powered by our patented iStatus® technology, your connection is monitored 24/7 with a proactive heartbeat. Unlike "dark" solutions that only react after a crash, our system tracks the health of both your primary and backup lines simultaneously, providing real-time IntelligentAlerts™ the moment a disruption is detected.
Automated Failover
When your primary ISP fails, RocketFailover takes over instantly. Your traffic switches to our business-optimized cellular network to keep your mission-critical applications online without manual intervention. Our intelligent management prevents sticky failover, automatically returning your traffic to the primary line once it is stable to avoid unnecessary data consumption and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RocketFailover and how does it work?
RocketFailover is a fully managed connectivity solution designed to ensure business continuity by automatically switching your traffic to a business-optimized cellular network if your primary ISP fails. It works through a three-step process: our engineers preconfigure the solution to integrate with your network, our iStatus® platform proactively monitors your connection health, and the hardware automatically handles the failover and failback to keep your mission-critical applications online.
Do I need to replace my current router to use RocketFailover?
No, you do not need to replace your existing equipment. Our solutions are engineered to fit into your current network stack. Whether you use our RocketFailover Autopilot™ configuration for a simple plug-and-play setup with any router or RocketFailover Fusion™ to integrate directly with your own dual-WAN firewall, RocketFailover is designed to work with your existing hardware.
What is "Sticky Failover" and how do you prevent it?
"Sticky Failover" occurs when your network traffic remains on the backup cellular connection even after your primary ISP has been restored. This can lead to unnecessary data consumption and increased costs. We prevent this through intelligent management that monitors the stability of your primary link and automatically returns your traffic to the main connection once it is fully restored.
Is the 5G/4G connection secure for credit card processing?
Yes. RocketFailover is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing PCI-compliant environments. Our solutions provide a secure connectivity tunnel and proactive connection monitoring without accessing your network data or monitoring internal internet activity. We provide regular firmware patching and updates to our hardware and software to maintain the performance and security of our service, ensuring our connectivity does not negatively impact your overall compliance status.
Does RocketFailover include a static IP address?
Yes, our business-optimized plans include an optional static IP address at no additional cost. This is a standard feature of our service, ensuring that your remote operations, VPNs, and internal systems remain accessible and consistent even when your network switches to the backup connection.
How fast can I be back online after an outage?
RocketFailover provides a seamless transition, meaning your mission-critical applications—like POS systems and cloud services—stay online automatically when a failure is detected. For new deployments, our Live-In-Five™ pre-configured hardware is designed to be plugged in and fully operational in under five minutes.
