Failover is a backup operational mode in which the functions of a system switch to a redundant or standby system when a failure or issue is detected in the primary system.
For 5G and LTE networks, failover ensures that there’s no interruption in service. It’s crucial for maintaining a reliable connection, which is especially important for businesses where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss or safety concerns.
