Exa Resilient Failovers
Failover lines are essential should your main connection experience an outage. With so much of a schools day to day activities dependant on technology, the DfE recommends a diverse back up with auto-failover capabilities, avoiding a single point of failure.

Exa offers a resilient failover service and selects the most suitable connectivity for any site. Whether that is using alternative technologies FTTP, Leased Line, Mobile or an alternative broadband carrier. Exa will recommend the best available DfE compliant solution based on your budget and digital environment.

Auto-failover
In the unlikely event of a fibre break, auto-failover minimises disruptions to your connection and maintains all services where possible.
We have the ability to monitor failover lines through our managed routers. This means we are able to pro-actively identify faults with primary or secondary connectivity to a site and notify end users of any issues.
