Backup Internet in Pensacola, FL
Pensacola knows what storms can do to infrastructure. Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Hurricane Sally in 2020 both left businesses without service for days. Backup internet from RETNetworks is a wireless second connection that sits next to your cable or fiber and carries your critical traffic when the main line goes down.
Why Pensacola businesses add a backup connection
Downtown restaurants, medical offices along Ninth Avenue, retail near Cordova Mall and shops out toward Perdido Key all depend on card payments, cloud software and phones. When the wired network fails, a cellular backup keeps those systems reachable, because it does not depend on the lines in the ground.
How it works
- Keep your current cable or fiber as your main internet.
- Add a RETNetworks wireless router as a second, independent connection on the cellular network.
- When the main line drops, your card terminals, VoIP phones, cameras and cloud systems keep working over cellular.
- When service returns, traffic goes back to your main line.
Who it is for in Pensacola
- Retail shops and restaurants that cannot afford to stop taking cards
- Medical, dental and professional offices that run on cloud software
- Businesses with VoIP phones, alarms or cameras that must stay reachable
- Home offices where a dropped connection means a missed meeting

How much does backup internet cost in Pensacola?
Backup internet is $29.95 a month in Pensacola. The router hardware is included, so there is no equipment fee, and there is no contract and no credit check.
How does wireless failover backup internet work?
The backup router sits alongside your existing cable or fiber connection. When your main line fails, your critical traffic moves to the cellular connection, and it steps back once your main service returns. We pre-configure the router before it ships.
Will backup internet work during a hurricane in Pensacola?
Backup internet runs on the cellular network, which is separate from cable and fiber lines, so it keeps working through many outages that take wired service down. No service can promise uptime if cell towers themselves lose power, but a cellular backup covers the most common failure, which is the wired line.
How fast can a Pensacola business get backup internet set up?
Shipping or pick-up is typically 1 to 5 business days, and self-install takes minutes. If you would like us to set it up on site, installation is a one-time $75.
Is backup internet the same as primary internet?
No. The $29.95 plan is a backup line only, meant to carry you through outages. If you want wireless as your main connection in Pensacola, see our home and business internet plans starting at $64.97 a month.
Is there a data cap on backup internet?
No. It includes unlimited high-speed data at speeds up to 300 Mbps with no data caps and no throttling.
What if the signal is weak at my Pensacola location?
We check the cellular signal at your address before you order, and every order has a 7-day money-back guarantee. The Advanced plan with Sure Connect can also fail over across more than 600 carrier networks for tougher locations.
