LTE Failover Connectivity installation by Skies Solutions

LTE Failover Connectivity in Waterfallfor apartments

A second internet path that takes over automatically when the fibre drops, keeping cameras and alarms online. We design, install and support lte failover connectivity for apartments in Waterfall and the surrounding Midrand and Centurion area. Waterfall’s newer estates are pre-wired to varying standards, so we survey what is actually behind the wall plates before promising upgrades. Apartments are best served by wireless control, a single-door intercom or access point and a compact network cabinet — no drilling in common property, nothing that needs a body corporate resolution.

What a lte failover connectivity installation covers in Waterfall

Every project starts with a walk-through of the property. We look at what is already installed, where the weak points are and what you actually want the system to do day to day. The scope is written down before anything is ordered, and it covers automatic failover and return, remote access maintained during outages and monitored data usage. For an apartment in Waterfall that usually means starting with dual-wan routers, then adding lte routers and antennas and sim and data arrangement where the property needs it.

Equipment specified for apartments

We specify equipment for the building in front of us rather than bundling the same kit for every job. Typical components are dual-wan routers, lte routers and antennas and sim and data arrangement. Where hardware is already in place and still reliable, it is reused; where it cannot integrate cleanly, we tell you and quote the replacement instead of forcing it into the design.

What it costs and how long it takes in Waterfall

A connected-home package starts at R 14 900, and a combined security and automation installation starts at R 34 900. LTE Failover Connectivity as a standalone scope is quoted from the site visit, because cabling distance, roof access, wall construction and the number of control points in Waterfall drive the number more than the hardware does. Most residential installations run one to three days on site; commercial work is scheduled around your operating hours.

Living with the system after handover

At handover we walk through every function, set the app up on your phone and leave the installation documented — labelled cables, panel schedule and the equipment list. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months and support runs through the same team that designed the system. Backup power is scoped with the installation so control equipment, the network and recording keep running through load-shedding.

LTE Failover Connectivity questions we are asked most

Do you install lte failover connectivity in Waterfall?

Yes. Waterfall is inside our Midrand and Centurion service area, and site visits there are free. We assess the property, confirm what is feasible and send a written quote rather than pricing over the phone.

Can lte failover connectivity be retrofitted into an apartment?

In most cases, yes. Apartments are best served by wireless control, a single-door intercom or access point and a compact network cabinet — no drilling in common property, nothing that needs a body corporate resolution. We plan the cable routes and mounting points around what exists, and anything that needs chasing walls is discussed before work starts.

Does the system keep running during load-shedding?

Control equipment, the network and recording are placed on backup power sized to the installation, so the system stays online and viewable from your phone. Heavy loads are left off backup unless the battery capacity is scoped for them.

Can you work with equipment we already own in Waterfall?

Where existing cameras, panels, motors or network hardware are reliable, they are integrated. Anything that cannot be supported or secured properly is listed with a replacement option, so you can decide rather than discover it later.
