Keeping Yorkshire Schools Connected – Even When the Unexpected Happens

In today’s digital classrooms, downtime isn’t an option. From safeguarding systems to virtual lessons, reliable internet is essential for every Yorkshire school and MAT. At edutech Yorkshire, working with Exa Networks, we provide Resilient Failover solutions that ensure uninterrupted connectivity.

Whether caused by a fibre break, maintenance, or external outages, our failover services automatically switch your connection to a backup line, keeping staff and pupils online without disruption. With options including 4G/5G filtered connections, FTTP, and leased line alternatives, we tailor resilience to your school’s needs — giving you confidence that learning and safeguarding will never be compromised.

Why Schools Need Resilient Failover

Technology underpins every aspect of modern education — from cloud-based learning platforms to safeguarding tools. A single outage can cause disruption to teaching, safeguarding, and communication with parents. The DfE recommends diverse backup with automatic failover to avoid these risks. Our solutions ensure your Yorkshire school or MAT is never left offline, reducing downtime and safeguarding your ability to deliver uninterrupted digital learning. Failover is no longer a luxury — it’s an essential layer of resilience.

Automatic Failover Technology

Our failover solutions are built with auto-failover, meaning when your primary line drops, traffic is seamlessly rerouted through a backup connection. This ensures lessons continue, safeguarding systems stay online, and staff remain connected. Schools don’t need to switch anything manually — the system works instantly in the background. For MATs, this consistency across multiple schools prevents disruption and ensures a smooth user experience, even during network incidents.

Flexible Backup Options

Every school is unique, so we provide multiple failover technologies. Options include filtered 4G/5G connections, FTTP fibre, or leased lines from alternative carriers. By diversifying technology types, we avoid single points of failure and deliver resilience that works for your specific environment. Yorkshire schools benefit from solutions tailored to their size, budget, and location, whether in a rural village or a city centre.

Filtered 4G & 5G Connections

Mobile connectivity is an ideal backup for schools using FTTP or SoGEA broadband. Our 4G and 5G failover solutions include fully filtered connections, ensuring DfE safeguarding standards are maintained even during an outage. We partner with multiple mobile carriers to guarantee the best signal in your area, providing fast, secure coverage. With plug-and-play routers, this option is quick to deploy and ensures your Yorkshire school stays online with minimal hassle.

Proactive Monitoring & Support

We don’t just supply failover lines — we actively monitor them through our managed routers. This means our team can identify issues with primary or secondary connections and notify your school proactively. With local, Bradford-based support, Yorkshire schools and MATs benefit from rapid response and expert guidance whenever resilience is needed. Failover isn’t just a backup; it’s a managed safeguard for your digital environment.
