Can Starlink Business automatically take over if GCI or ACS goes down?

Yes. Using a Dual-WAN firewall (such as Ubiquiti UniFi, Peplink, or Fortinet), we configure health checks that detect a primary ISP failure in seconds and seamlessly fail over traffic to Starlink Business—and automatically switch back once your primary line recovers.

Can you ship pre-configured Starlink and office network kits to remote Alaska communities?

Yes. We build and test pre-configured 'Office-in-a-Box' network kits in our shop and ship them statewide to Kodiak, Nome, Bethel, Dutch Harbor, Southeast, and remote camps for plug-and-play deployment.
