What Happens When Your Primary Network Fails?

When your primary network connection fails, how long can your business afford to be offline? For retailers, hospitality venues, healthcare providers and remote sites, every minute of downtime can result in lost revenue, operational delays, and a poor customer experience.

Traditional backup solutions are often tied to the same mobile network carrier — creating a single point of failure. Wired alternatives can be costly and slow to deploy. That’s why our 5G RDU delivers instant, secure, wireless backup across multiple carriers.

What is a 5G Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU)?

A 5G Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) is a compact, portable internet failover device that connects to the strongest available 5G network to provide instant failover connectivity during a carrier or broadband outage.

Opticore’s 5G RDU is plug-and-play, secure, and designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing break-fix or disaster recovery workflows. With IP67-rated hardware and connectivity to all major UK mobile carriers, it ensures continuous access to critical services.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can a 5G RDU be deployed?

Our 5G RDUs are designed for speed—most are live within minutes of delivery. Thanks to our logistics network and break-fix teams, we can provide same-day dispatch or local stock coverage. This means your business can restore or launch connectivity without delays, keeping operations running smoothly.

Is the 5G connection secure?

Yes. Every 5G connection is fully encrypted and can be integrated into your existing SD-WAN fabric or protected with VPN tunnels. This ensures that your data stays private and your network traffic secure, giving you enterprise-grade protection across mobile connectivity.

What happens if 5G coverage is poor in my area?

Our RDUs automatically connect to the strongest available signal in your area, ensuring maximum reliability. If 5G coverage dips, the unit seamlessly falls back to 4G, so your business stays connected without interruptions.

How is the device managed?

Each RDU comes with access to a secure cloud-based portal for real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and updates. You can check performance, troubleshoot issues, and push updates remotely—giving your IT team full control and visibility wherever the devices are deployed.
