LTE & 5G Internet as a backup or your main connection
A professionally installed cellular router keeps you online when Starlink can't, or gives you simple, compact internet if you're comfortable with a limited data plan. We handle the router, antennas, signal tuning and automatic failover.
LTE/5G is a great fit if you…
- Want a backup for Starlink or another provider
- Mostly use email, banking, video calls and light browsing
- Are fine with a data cap from your cell carrier
- Need internet for cameras, alarms or farm monitoring
- Have decent cell coverage, or want us to boost it
Who it's for
Cellular internet setups we install
LTE and 5G routers are small, low-power and quick to deploy. Used the right way, they're an excellent complement or alternative to satellite internet.
Main internet for light users
If you don't stream much and your data plan covers your needs, a 5G or LTE router can be a simple, affordable home connection.
Cameras, alarms & farm monitoring
Keep security cameras, alarm panels, grain bin sensors, gate openers and smart devices connected, even at unoccupied properties.
Cottages & seasonal properties
Low-cost connectivity for weekend check-ins, remote thermostats and cameras, with the option to add Starlink later.
Businesses & point-of-sale
Keep payment terminals, phones and cloud apps running if your main internet goes down.
RVs & vehicles
Compact vehicle routers with roof antennas for Wi-Fi on the road, on their own or alongside Starlink for RVs.
Starlink + LTE/5G failover
Never lose your connection with automatic failover
Starlink is very reliable, but heavy snow, severe storms, network maintenance or a new obstruction can still interrupt service. A dual-WAN router watches your Starlink connection and switches to LTE/5G automatically within seconds, then switches back when Starlink recovers.
Because the backup only carries traffic when it's needed, a small cellular data plan is usually enough.
Ask about failoverStarlink is primary
All your devices use high-speed Starlink as usual.
Router monitors the link
The dual-WAN router continuously checks that Starlink is online.
Automatic switch to LTE/5G
If Starlink drops, traffic moves to cellular, so calls, cameras and work keep going.
Back to Starlink
When Starlink returns, the router switches back on its own to save your data.
Weak signal? We fix that
Signal surveys & outdoor antennas for rural Manitoba
In rural areas a router sitting by the window often isn't enough. We measure real signal quality on site, find the best tower and band, and mount an outdoor antenna aimed where it performs best.
Carrier-neutral. We work with routers and SIMs for the major Canadian networks, including Bell MTS, Rogers and Telus and their brands. You choose the data plan that suits your budget, and we'll help you compare which network is strongest at your location.
- On-site signal survey measuring signal strength and quality, not just "bars".
- Directional or omni MIMO antennas mounted on the roof, wall or a mast.
- Low-loss cabling kept short and weather-sealed for maximum performance.
- Carrier-certified, unlocked routers that support Canadian LTE and 5G bands.
- Router configuration: Wi-Fi, band locking where helpful, failover rules and data usage alerts.
Honest advice
LTE/5G or Starlink? We'll tell you what makes sense
Most Canadian cellular plans have data limits. That's perfect for backup and light use, but if your household streams 4K video, games online or downloads large files, Starlink is usually the better main connection. Many customers choose both.
Light use
Email, banking, browsing, video calls, smart home. LTE/5G alone can work well.
Heavy use
Streaming, gaming, multiple users, working from home. Starlink as the main connection.
Can't be offline
Home office, business, cameras and alarms. Starlink + LTE/5G failover.
