Backup Business Internet
A second path in. So a cut line doesn't cost you the day. Backup is fixed-wireless redundancy that kicks in automatically when your primary connection drops. No manual switchover. No call to IT. Just continuity — while the other line gets fixed.
Intermax Internet: Backup is a fixed-wireless failover connection for businesses in North Idaho and Eastern Washington, sold as an add-on to any Intermax Internet tier or as a standalone resilience product for businesses whose primary internet is from another provider.
What is Backup Business Internet?
Cables get cut. Storms blow through. Accidents happen. A second path means none of that takes you offline.
Backup runs over fixed wireless — an independent path that doesn’t share infrastructure with your primary fiber or fixed wireless connection. When the primary drops, failover is automatic. When it comes back, traffic shifts back. You don’t have to do anything. Backup is sold as an add-on to any Intermax Internet tier, or standalone to businesses whose primary internet comes from another provider — so you don’t have to switch to get the resilience.
