In the world of remote living, internet reliability becomes more than just a luxury, it’s a necessity. Whether you're streaming, working, or running smart home tech, your connection can't afford to drop. That's why more homeowners in rural or mountainous locations are turning to triple redundancy network setups to stay online, no matter what.

In this blog, we're sharing how Dreamedia built a robust, always-on network for a 12,000-square-foot luxury home in the Rocky Mountains. If you're looking for a blueprint for uninterrupted internet, keep reading.

Primary Source: Starlink Internet

At the core of the network is Starlink Business. Offering download speeds around 500 Mbps, it’s ideal for remote areas where traditional internet providers fall short. Starlink delivers low-latency performance, enough to support everything from 4K streaming to whole-home automation.

Secondary Connection: Point-to-Point Radio

Starlink is fast, but because it relies on satellites, it's wise to have a backup. For this home, a local provider set up a point-to-point radio antenna system. It transmits signal from a nearby mountain and delivers approximately 250 Mbps down and 125 Mbps up.

This secondary connection is managed through an automatic router failover system. If Starlink ever cuts out, the network seamlessly switches to point-to-point, then reverts back when the main connection stabilizes.

Final Backup: 5G Mobile Booster

The third layer of protection is mobile. With a Wilson Pro 5G cell booster, the system taps into nearby towers using a roof-mounted directional antenna. That signal is processed and broadcast throughout the home via multiple low-profile access points.

This ensures strong 5G coverage, even in areas that normally struggle with mobile reception. Inside and out, the network stays strong, even if both internet sources fail.

Why It Matters

In homes loaded with smart tech, a dropped signal means more than just a paused video. From lighting and HVAC to audio systems and home security, internet stability is foundational. A triple redundancy setup offers peace of mind — no matter how far you are from the city.

Key Hardware in the Setup

• Starlink satellite internet with ~500 Mbps download speeds
• Point-to-point radio antenna with 250/125 Mbps speeds
• Router with automated failover configuration
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for power backup
• Wilson Pro 5G cell booster with discreet indoor access points
